Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, a new six part comedy series featuring standup and sketches, began a six episode run on March 16 2009. It is executively produced by Armando Iannucci and script edited by Chris Morris. The first episode received positive reviews from The Independent and The Daily Mirror. The show received a negative review in Time Out, which described Lee as "fat" and his performance as "positively Neanderthal, suggesting a jungle-dwelling pygmy, struggling to coax notes out of a clarinet that has fallen from a passing aircraft", however, this in fact was a satirical "self-review" by Lee himself. The first episode was watched by approximately 1 million viewers.
