IDS's new job...

From Digital Spy:

Ex Tory leader Iain Dunacn-Smith is to feature in Johnny Vaughan's new show for BBC Three.

IDS will be a recurring guest on the programme, Live At Johnny's, when it begins next Monday.

The entire show will come direct from Johnny's garden shed, where IDS will offer a "weekly window on the world of politics" as his "political shed mate."

Vaughan said: "The quiet man of UK politics is a phenomenon. He climbed the greasy pole of British politics with a mixture of stealth and sincerity. Unfortunately, the country seemed to prefer loud sounds and fury signifying nothing."

Duncan-Smith added: "Johnny Vaughan thinks I've agreed to become a regular shed mate on his new show to give a behind-the-scenes account of the goings on in the Houses of Parliament.

"Whilst my contract says I've got to talk a bit about politics I hope sport and the other things that really matter are what we actually discuss. I'll even talk about being a season ticket holder for Spurs - and compared to politics, that really hurts."



Is this is the same man who wanted to close BBC Three down!?

It'll be nice to see Johnny Vaughan back though - the show sounds interesting.

How the mighty have fallen (then again, he was never mighty).

*falls off chair*

It's a bit early for April Fools surely?

Mmh, Vaughn interview people in his shed. Well... I haven't seen him do that since the days of the Big Breakfast when he did exactly the same!

I said in the BBC Three thread a little while ago that the channel really needed a pre-watershed show....Live at Johnny's is on each weeknight at 8pm from Monday, which fits the bill (also a potential Liquid News replacement after that gets axed in April). Although Vaughan will be off to the Capital's breakfast show pretty soon- so it'll be a one-off 6 week run for him, although if it's popular I'm sure the format can be passed onto another presenter.

I hear Jennie Bond would like her own entertainement show!
