Tim talks to political comedian, satirist, broadcaster and Spitting Image impressionist, Matt Forde about his journey into politics and comedy, and how he's managed to combine his two passions to become one of the country's best known satirical comedians. Matt tells Tim how a man with eyes tattooed onto his buttocks sparked his own political awakening, and he explains how he could see that a young Jon Richardson was a brilliant comedian, even if his fellow students couldn't.
