Student radio. Suspended.
And this was actually before the Heseltine incident, so I wasn't just copying Chris Morris. For once.

You can't just leave it at that, mate!
Come on...what did you done?
Worked a comment from an overheard private top-level discussion between the Vice-Chancellor and his associates into a sketch.
Someone heard it and "got the joke", so to speak...
Where was this, how long ago, and did they actually make trouble about your degree?
Just over six years ago... and I was never actually disciplined in any way. I think I was probably on fairly secure legal footing in that respect anyway.
And besides, the couldn't actually PROVE that I was directly quoting, and that it wasn't a coincidence.
I was recently talking to a union organiser who claimed that he helped organise left-wing benefit gigs that Alan Davies was in at some university or other. Sadly, I couldn't press him for more info, but apparently AD used to be really right-on before he started talking about cats and bungee-jumping.
Any more info?
Yeah, he went on to do loads of adverts for Abbey National.
Apparently for his first ever paid comedy gig (after college) he did some routine about animal rights, or environmenatlism, something like that, a cause close to his heart in any case.
