Alright, so this 2026 thing is sticking around, is it? Sigh! Well here goes...
 
Alexei Sayle and Talal Karkouti discuss Syria, Iran and why it's so easy to be more vocal about Palestine. They also rapid fire through some of Alexei's filmography until Ricky Gervais comes along and sucks all the joy out of the conversation.
