The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

It's just that you're new and have come here and basically slagged off a team member who infact does a lot of work. His name is meant to be ironic. Yet Dave does a huge amount of work in the background, preparing material that we experience from him because it's used by Chris. Without him we'd not have stuff like that hilarious Davina McCall parody :)

I love Comedy Dave. He is interesting, witty, quick, funny and intelligent. Just because he is the "stooge", don't underestimate his role. People did that with Ernie Wise, and they were wrong there too.

I like Dave - even though I agree that there's a lot less chemistry between the two of them now than there used to be.

Mark Riley never did or said anything funny (unless you count being a fat ex-drummer), but sometimes these partnerships just work because they do.

To be fair, he writes most of the show, unless your being ironic i don't think you know what your talking about!

I'd say he does just as much as Chris if not more and gets no where near the salary.

Ok - maybe with hindsight, that was a bit much. Point taken!
