Executive producer Armando Iannucci interrogates Stewart Lee about his BBC2 series in a Frost/Nixon style face off. This week Armando and Stewart discuss the 'hot potato' topic of religion - what filling should you put on that potato? And how can you turn atheism into a commercial enterprise?

The best part of this is when Stewart Lee says 'you know when you go to like a remote Scottish island?' and Armando Iannucci replies 'yes' without a second's hesitation

That's an over simplification of the facts. Comedy has been taken to the next level by many practitioners before Mr Lee.Bill Hicks once put comedy in a duffel bag and transported it 5 floors in a Las Vegas hotel,Lenny Henry effortlessly hauled comedy up 7 flights of stairs using only a sack truck and the Two Ronnies once spent an entire weekend attempting to fling comedy onto the roof of Buckingham Palace using a trebuchet with mixed results.. Stewart Lee is merely carrying on this tradition.

On a slightly related note, there is evidence of Pythagoras' theorem in Babylonian texts that existed much before Pythagoras.
