Joe Lycett: the barman in his local pub

The comedian accused his local barman of being unkind, sparking a bitter feud. “The beer pumps have frosting on them, like a layer of ice. I’m quite hot blooded, I get quite clammy palms, so I like to put my hand on these to cool my hand down. I put my hand on, and the bartender said, ‘Get your hands off my pump!’ I didn’t like his tone because it was very aggressive.” Frank Skinner contacted the bartender, who said of Lycett: “He always puts his hands on my bloody beer tap, it drives me insane — the nincompoop. These famous people think they can get away with murder.”

Miranda Hart: her breasts

“Out of the bra we are talking two jellies floating down a plate,” the comedian said, as she explained her cleavage woes. “It’s not the best look.” Her height only adds to the nightmare: “I don’t know if it’s because I’m too tall but I often gently nudge people on the shoulder with my breast.”

Greg Davies: people who give their dogs specific instructions

Dog lovers, look away now. Davies was riled by owners assuming dogs can understand complex orders. A woman in his local park who told her dog to get out of the bush had really hit a nerve. “Coco doesn’t know she’s in a bush. Coco has no concept of what a bush is!”

Victoria Coren Mitchell: James Bond

Here’s one woman 007 would struggle to seduce. “James Bond has been a repetitive ghastly bore for decades,” grumbled the presenter. “He manages to combine violence and sexism with a sort of weird camp fussiness about everything he eats, drinks and does… yet women are supposed to find him irresistible because he has special pens.”

Sarah Millican: dry chicken kievs

Life is cruel — and nobody knows this more than Millican, whose kievs routinely burst in the oven and lose their garlic butter. “It’s really annoying, because I could buy chicken on its own if I wanted it, but I didn’t want that, I want it with the stuff in! And I can’t cook, so I’m heavily reliant on oven-y things.”

Jon Richardson: his brain

The comedian likened his brain to “an unwanted house guest”. He was sick of “thinking about everything all the time” for 30 years and would prefer to have a dog’s brain — or that of X Factor’s twin singers Jedward.

Richard Ayoade: audiences cheering at the name of the town in which they reside

The actor and presenter was unimpressed by hometown pride. “It makes me feel like everyone’s been hypnotised, and someone’s said when your town’s mentioned you have to go ‘Wahey!’ I just don’t see why someone needs to emit that sound.”

Jimmy Carr: tax loopholes

Tax avoidance was the comedian’s pet hate when he appeared on the show earlier this year. He pointed out that he hasn’t always hated tax loopholes, since six years earlier he was one of the high-profile names using the K2 tax avoidance scheme, paying one per cent tax on his earnings, which was described as “morally wrong” by David Cameron.
