Episodes 24
Stewart - Armando (Part 1)
Armando Iannucci interviews Stewart about the content of his show, in what was presumably a pastiche of a Mark Lawson interview on a late night BBC arts programme. It was filmed in dimly-lit black and white, for added pretentiousness.
Broadcast as a Red Button Extra.
Read MoreToilet Books
In the first episode of this new series, Stewart looks at the phenomenon of toilet books. Where did they come from? And why? For some reason, someone, somewhere, thought history, fiction, poetry and the like weren’t enough any more, and so they invented celebrity hardbacks, tragic lives and Dan Brown. Stewart takes a look at some of this new lavatory literature, including works by Asher D and Paddy McGinty’s Goat, and finds out what would happen if Dan Brown got a job where he had to break bad news.

The second interview by Armando Iannucci in a series of six 'Red Button' extras. These accompany each new episode of Comedy Vehicle.

In the second episode, Stewart casts his eye over the state of British television today, and tries to find out whose fault it is. Along the way, via a sketch, he meets the villagers who, every year, host a bizarre celebration of The Funniest Moment Ever On Television; explains his idea for a sequel to March Of The Penguins; and finds out why Ant and Dec never seem to grow older.

Here's the third of Stewart Lee's interviews with Armando Iannucci made especially for that slender proportion of the viewing public who both enjoy almost annoyingly clever self-satirising comedy, and who own special boxes that enable them to watch extra footage of Dick and Dom at the touch of a red button.
Read MorePolitical Correctness
Stewart Lee asks whether political correctness really has gone mad, or whether it is just something people say because they don't really understand what it means. Stewart thinks he knows what it means - though the tale of how his attempts to lose weight were ruined by the PC minefield makes him not so sure... not to mention the story of how a lost ballet shoe caused a national scandal.

Here's the fourth of Stewart Lee's conversations with Armando Iannucci accompanying his current BBC TV series.
He talks about the Global Financial Crisis.
Read MoreFinancial Crisis
In the fourth episode of this new series, Stewart comments that it’s not easy making a comedy show about a global financial crisis. But he’s going to give it a go, trying to find out how the financial markets got themselves into this mess and who’s going to get them out of it.
He also discovers that destroying your own home just might pay off; that those who put money under the bed and not in the bank were right all along; and – most horrifying of all – in London, one is never more than 10 ft from an estate agent. At least he’s got fond memories of Woolworths, MFI and Zavvi…
