With a bone dry approach David tells his story from the freelance work at The NME in the days when he was hanging out with Shane McGowan, to getting noticed by Armando Iannucci, which led to the opportunity to create cutting edge comedy writing with Chris Morris for On The Hour and Blue Jam. We talk about his time at Spitting image and his work in the world of Doctor Who...Needless to say David's choice of 80s tracks and his justification for them is as robust as you would expect from an NME journalist. Let it be said the *unbleeped* anecdote about Ulrika Jonsson is painfully funny and could have got him painfully punched in public twice, but he lives to tell the tale! - DA
