Actor, comedian and writer David Mitchell spoke to Matt earlier about Ryanair's new image, Ukip and the end of Peep Show.

He recently revealed that his Channel 4 comedy Peep Show is coming to the end of its natural lifespan.

"I'm sad it's coming to an end, but it has to, really, because the premise won't sustain another ten years."

"The notion of two people in their 20s living together is an idea a lot of people can get their heads round. If they continue to do it in their 40s, that doesn't seem plausible."

"So there will be a lump in my throat, but at the same time it seems like a good and dignified way for it to end."

On Ryanair's new image he says "as a big fan of Ryanair's marketing strategy, I was shocked to hear that it's being abandoned."

David has just published an anthology of his best writing, entitled ‘Thinking about it only makes it worse – and other lessons from modern life’
