Ayoade on Ayoade: A Cinematic Odyssey

Product Information

have loved all of Richard Ayoade's books, but this, his third, is by far my favourite. It's the critical analysis I wouldn't have considered necessary, but it was thrilling to listen to it! I'll link the clip that sold me on the book at the end of the review.

Richard Ayoade has been slammed for praising Graham Linehan’s upcoming book (Picture: SWNS / Getty) It seems you no longer need to even express gender-critical views to become a target of the mob. Apparently, it is now enough just to associate with prominent opponents of trans ideology to be marked out for condemnation. But to keep spiked free we ask regular readers like you, if you can afford it, to chip in – to make sure that those who can’t afford it can continue reading, sharing and arguing. Amazingly, Richard Ayoade managed to write a book about this film. A good book. I still impressed by this. Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop has a book club --- they have to select this at some point, right?! In May 2020, it was announced that Ayoade would host the 2020 British Academy Television Awards, [84] [85] which was held behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [86] He returned to host the 2021 and 2022 ceremonies.

Reading Ayoade’s book in Hong Kong in 2020, no longer on holiday but just on life, in a world so different to the one where Top entered, completes a strange triangle of cultural artefact and consumer. A triangle that means absolutely nothing to anyone else, but a bit of something to me.

Of course, in recent years, Linehan has also become a bête noire of the trans lobby. The memoir, Tough Crowd, is billed as a humorous reflection on his journey from being one of the UK’s most beloved television comedy writers to becoming a pariah for being forthright about his gender-critical beliefs.

One record that does exist of his beginnings in comedy comes from a documentary the local ITV station made about Footlights at the time. You can see Ayoade alongside a young John Oliver, both in fetching 1990s sweaters, walking along a windswept beach, apparently improvising. “It was literally one of the things that made me not want to do interviews again. You have to imagine: a bunch of 21-year-olds, never-been-out-of-the-house type people. Our tour manager is another 21-year-old saying, ‘This is very important publicity, Anglia television want to do a feature.’ It was awful. They’d ask us to do a sketch while walking and if we complained they’d say, ‘Trust us, we’re professionals, we won’t make you look ridiculous’. Also, we were in this stage when we were just trying to be Chris Morris. Everyone spoke in that I’M TALKING LIKE THIS voice, all the way through. And it’s documented in this awful video, it’s really humiliating.”
