I bought it and I'm not a pimp either. So one of us must be a filthy liar.

Hello Mr. Idle, I bought and watched WAD when you had it on a separate site and enjoyed it a lot. It felt like you were trying to conjure up a bit of radio play/ Goon Show atmosphere there as well, is that true?

Also, what is your opinion on the BBC in general?

Thank you for the answer.

Also, my apologies for making it look like you didn't answer the second question. I actually edited that one in around the same time Mr. Wijnberg was answering my first question, so he might not have seen it.

I have two questions:

  1. Is De Correspondent currently working on one or more projects of true investigative journalism we might not know about and do you feel that they will bear fruit any time soon? Do you have the resources for this sort of thing?

  2. I enjoy reading De Correspondent a lot of the time. There is one thing that irks me though, and that is the way you title your articles. Things like 'How [insert thing] happened.' and 'Why [insert person] is wrong.' are often headers to articles where the title actually doesn't fit that well. Often the 'how' is in the title already or the 'why' is not a 'why' but a 'how'. Have you considered moving away from the modern trend in titles for articles, which I feel is too ubiquitous, click-baity and often wrong?
