Wait, no one else finds it funny that Jonathan Woss pronounces it Japanowama?

Oh. Well, I'll take my fascist pronunciation standards elsewhere then.

Glad to see he's doing something for the bazillion quid they pay him, apart from a lame chat show and a lame film review show. (I actually miss the weirdo film programs he made yonks ago)

See also Adam And Joe Go Tokyo. (Which I've still not got around to watching)

His In Search of Steve Ditko special was pretty good, although I'd imagine it's much more interesting if you are a "comic book enthusiast" (like myself). Be warned, though, it fizzles out at the end and may leave you annoyed.

Also, I quite enjoy the streamed episodes of his radio show, but mostly because it sounds (to me) quite a bit like the in character commentary track to This is Spinal Tap.
