Ricky Gervais

This is the story of Ricky Gervais, a pioneer of sharp-elbowed comedy who decided to puncture his own legacy of speaking truth to power. In one fail swoop, catalysed by the release of his Netflix stand-up speical, SuperNature, Gervais made a series of jokes which could have been at home on a Republican conspiracy theorist's Twitter and annointed them comedy.

Jeremy Clarkson

Jeremy Clarkson — the TV motor man and newspaper columnist — was clearly feeling extra miserable last Christmas when he decided to pen one of the most offensive opinion pieces to ever grace a UK publication.

Kate Forbes

On the 15th of February 2023, before a hastily assembled press pack, Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, informed Edinburgh - and the world - of her decision to resign after eight years in the post. The personal cost of political theatre had become all too high for the longest-serving first minister in Scotland’s history. Amidst the furore that descended upon the party, one forerunner in particular made waves: the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Economy, and the Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, Kate Forbes. Although debates for the SNP leadership have finished - with Humza Yusaf, not Forbes as the victorious candidate - today we’re exploring a debate of a different nature that’s taken place.

Piers Morgan

Morning television; It’s a medium built upon being the relaxing background music to your pre-breakfast routine. A light fusion of news, entertainment, and weather, wrapped up with soft furnishings and ambient intro music, with the melodious alto of a Scottish woman never far away. (Carol Kirkwood and Lorraine Kelly–holler). Hardly a bastion of excitement. But such tranquillity is fertile ground for a disruptor, and there is perhaps nobody more deserving of that adjective than one Piers Morgan. This episode was written by Anton Ferrie.
