Dave Spikey: Why I fell out with Peter Kay

Dave Spikey's joy at recognition for Phoenix Nights turned to bitter disappointment when he claims co-writer and Bolton comic Peter Kay took all of the credit for himself.

Deadpan comic Jimmy Carr asks two teams to identify contemporary hot topics and link stats to facts, but this is all a playground for the guests and Carr alike. Perhaps the best feature of this show is the choice of captains: Sean Lock of TV Heaven, Telly Hell and Dave Spikey of Phoenix Nights. Dave makes for a good smart take on the discussion while Sean can be relied upon to offer more risqué humour. It is this trio that ensure the guests are never safe and have made it a ratings winner.

8 Out of 10 Cats is more or less a complete rip off of HIGNFY, only with less intelligent contestants. In yet another unsuitable vehicle for Jimmy Carr, only the sharp wit of Sean Lock saves the show from oblivion, Dave Spikey's style of humour not really suiting the format.
