Crush cars illegally parked in disabled spaces? An audience interacts with the funny man.

Crush cars illegally parked in disabled spaces? An audience interacts with the free-thinking funny man. From February 2010.

In this edition: policies such as crushing the cars of anyone illegally parked in a disabled space; the legalisation of Viking-style funerals; and consolidating the United Kingdom's national debt into one easy-to-pay loan.

Producer: Ed Morrish

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in February 2010.
