Russell Brand attacks David Cameron on Chatty Man

Russell Brand has dubbed David Cameron and George Osborne 'posh w***ers' as he continued to wage his war and 'revolution' against the government.

The Revolution Will Be Televised - TV review

Jolyon and Heydon even play a prank on David Cameron - what chutzpah!

Class traitors Jolyon Rubinstein and Heydon Prowse return for a second series of pranks, stunts and hard stats about the sort of injustices that make Russell Brand's blood boil. Making merriment out of tax avoidance or PR firms that shill for tyrants isn't easy, but Rubinstein and Prowse have two ways to achieve it: flat-out silliness and a colossal amount of nerve. The series two opener sees Rubinstein combine both as he somehow accosts David Cameron at a fundraiser, demanding that he autograph his 1986 Bullingdon Club annual.

Dom Joly: I nearly pranked David Cameron

ITV prankster Dom Joly tells RadioTimes.com that he nearly managed to trick the Prime Minister with his ASBO vicar character from Fool Britannia.

Some quizzes are just vehicles for the guests to deliver their best comedy material. This new one hosted by Rory Bremner is exactly that and makes no pretence to be anything else. Yet while it has the form of a quiz and mocks the whole concept - there really is just one question and therefore a maximum total of one point to win - it is more a sharply written satire.

This week's one question is about what it means to be British and while some of the gags are familiar, most are fresh and they all come thick and fast. One inspired touch is to pretend David Cameron is one of the team members. The only way you realise it's not the man himself is that you find yourself wanting to hear what he's got to say.

Stephen Fry calls for Olympics ban

The Three Lions, interview

David Walliams: PM asked me not to flick his hair

David Walliams says "David Cameron asked me not to flick his hair like Sebastian... so of course I did."

Gavin & Stacey will not be returning, says Ruth Jones

Ruth Jones, the co-writer of Gavin & Stacey, says there will be no more episodes of David Cameron's favourite sitcom.

The satrical edge on HIGNFY has dulled very slightly over the years. These days, Ian Hislop and Paul Merton don't so much lacerate the week's events and personalities as chew them over with the odd comic flight of fancy.

Occasionally, let's be honest, that makes for an underwhelming episode, where the panellists never get up a head of steam and only the host's scripted gags keep things rolling. But more often, the big old beast of a show rouses itself and delivers an enjoyably surreal spin on the news, providing us with a neat comedy coda to the week. One of the best episodes of the last series had Richard Osman as a guest, punning about David Cameron's "mandate" on gay marriage and showing an almost shameful knowledge of Spice Girls hits. Happily, he's back again tonight, with the excellent Stephen Mangan in the host's chair for the first show of series (drumroll, please...) 45.
