Mexican Batman, Britain’s Downfall, Mr Bean’s Comeback & Jimmy Carr - Rabbit Hole #5 - #1143

Chris Williamson is joined by Jimmy Carr, George Mack, and Harry Dry for the fifth Rabbit Hole experiment—a free‑ranging conversation that bounces from a real‑life Mexican Batman to the economics of the British pound, Victorian slang, the craft of comedy writing, the transactional nature of relationships, and whether smartphones have stolen our ability to be bored. The panel also ponders a Jimmy Carr prime‑ministerial run, the upside of being cancelled, why Americans are more optimistic than Brits, and how GLP‑1 drugs are rendering gastric band surgery obsolete.
