BBC Radio 4 - Heresy, Series 8, Episode 2

With comedians David Baddiel and Lucy Porter and quiz show presenter Richard Osman.

Victoria Coren Mitchell dares guests David Baddiel, Lucy Porter and Richard Osman to challenge received opinion and knee-jerk thinking. From November 2011.

Victoria Coren presents another edition of the show which dares to commit heresy.

Her guests this week are comedians David Baddiel and Lucy Porter and the co-presenter of daytime quiz show Pointless, Richard Osman. Together they have fun exposing the wrong-headedness of received wisdom and challenging knee-jerk public reaction to events. 

Arguing against the common belief that "the economy is up the creek without a paddle", David Baddiel says we're actually sailing serenely through the recession. Lucy Porter isn't convinced that "the innocence of children is snatched away too fast these days" and wants to know when her 13 month old daughter will start paying her share of the household bills, and Richard Osman finds reasons not to mourn the passing of the News of the World.

Producer: Brian King
An Avalon production for BBC Radio 4.
