This time round, it's the excellent TONY WAY (Vic & Bob, Fast Show, Brian Pern, Game of Thrones) talking about his love for the 80s blockbuster orange juice market shorting Christmas comedy TRADING PLACES and celebrating the vital, unsung craft of the character cameo.

New episode! *parps crumhorn*

This time round, Emmy Award-winning comedy writer David Quantick (Thick of It, Brass Eye, Harry Hill, The Day Today) talks about a film that he reckons might be the best one ever made (and why mince words?) Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits.

Since Leo Baxendale's Willy The Kid books are sadly out of print and go for an absolute fortune on ebay (though be patient, we secured ours for under £30 a pop, but it took a while) here are some samples for you to enjoy alongside this week's RULE OF THREE. Includes some Dalek obsession, a smattering of Spotty Dick and the big mincer, and the astonishing 'turd' joke that changed so many 8-year-olds' worlds.

Towards the back end of this week's RULE OF THREE with DAVEY JONES we celebrate, rightly, this piece of comic writing from Viz Comic, which we rate as one of the finest pieces of prose ever composed in the English language.

Enjoy.

In memory of all those brain cells who died in its research and creation.

(Rightful credit to Simon Donald, Graham Dury, Simon Thorp, Alex Collier and Davey Jones for raising the bar here impossibly high.)

TOOT! PARP! It is here! In this episode, DAVEY JONES, the singular mind and biro behind the likes of Viz's Gilbert Ratchet and The Vibrating Bum Faced Goats, tells us of his love for the rebel genius of British funny comics LEO BAXENDALE, with particular attention to his WILLY THE KID books - comics so funny that, from personal experience, readers often spit orange squash everywhere and nearly choke to death laughing.
