    Watching this and seeing Kevin Eldon back then, 30 years ago, and what he looks like now in 2024, i think he must have a painting in his attic that looks like an older version of himself.

    I love Stew - but he couldn't be the comedian Stewart Lee when he was young. I saw him in around 2001 and he was still not old enough to be "that", he had to wait till he'd let himself go and the sands of time had ground him down physically and mentally into the beloved wreck of today :)

I mean, who didn't take a weak lemon drink with them when they went out, my mate even brought one to usher n the new millennium. He was a BIG kevin Eldon fan.

      They did reuse some of the radio show material in this (I can distinctly remember the teachers segment, the fables and, of course, Simon Quinlank). Actually I might go back and re-listen to the radio stuff.
      The '1FM' Wednesday night comedy segment (Chris Morris, Armando iannucci etc was brilliant, and formed much of the comedy I love today.
      I never listened to the radio version of MWE, but some of the TV version actually hasn't aged very well. I might give the radio stuff a listen.
