Good morning. Comedy. News. Here. Together. 14. June. Read on...

  • Rufus Hound went into acting because he wasn't challenged by comedy, he told Radio Five Live. The statement 'Comedy wasn't challenged by a man who did some middling turns on Dave and also helped run Top Of The Pops into the ground' would probably also fit the bill. Chortle 
  • Flickr is apparently still going and will change its photo deletion policy because of Dave Gorman, according to ZDNet.
  • Adorable comedy news: Sarah Millican has been mentoring Angela Barnes since she won last year's BBC New Comedy Act. “She rocks,” says Angela. AWWWW. BBC
