Hello and welcome to That's Life, Spectator Life's Sideways glance of the world today.

That's right, we've made it to a second episode, and trust me, nobody is more surprised at this than we are.

I'm Benedict Spence. And I Andy Shaw and on this podcast we'll be

sitting down with guests to open a few bottles of wine and drink our way through 40 minutes of

poking fun at the words, people, events and ideas that have shaped the current news agenda.

On this episode we're joined by the comedian Jeff Norcott. Jeff is the token leave voter on the BBC show The Mash Report,

which, for those of you who don't know, is Channel 4 News, but with fewer jokes.

But never want to let circumstance get the better of him.

He has overcome this and is currently embarking on a national tour of his latest show, Taking Liberties.

Jeff has written for the Daily Telegraph, the Independent and Spite,

and the BBC recently appointed Jeff to their diversity and inclusion panel, where he represents

the new protected minority of Tory voting comedians. Yeah, welcome to that's life. Thank you for

having me on.

I'm actually, I'm there represented the working classes because after a few sort of convenings of this, they sort of thought, you know, what about that huge demographic of people?

Like possibly the biggest underprivile?

They should probably be in there at some point.

So I am there.

You know, I'm not saying that right now my life is not.

I've known the taste of brioch, right?

But I've also been on the other side of the fence.

I'm trying to give a voice to that.

Well, help yourself to a glass of wine, Jeff.
