	Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned (2000-2003, 2005-) is a free-form talk show hosted by British comedians/personalities David Baddiel and Frank Skinner and produced by Avalon Television.
		Skinner's Catholicism and Baddiel's Jewish faith are also occasional targets of humour (Baddiel describing Skinner's faith as being "insane" and Skinner often using a music-hall Jewish accent to hold mock dialogues among members of Baddiel's extended family, as well as both performers demonstrating how to "play the piano in a convincingly Jewish manner").
		David attempting to use the sofa and Frank to demonstrate which sides of the bed he and his then-girlfriend slept on.

		David Baddiel was born 19 years after World War Two ended.
		In recent years, David has become increasingly interested in his family history, and he has written a novel, The Secret Purpose (Little, Brown, 2004) based loosely on the story of his maternal grandparents, who were Jewish and who fled from the Holocaust.
		As David researched into his background he discovered that his mother, Sarah, was just five months old when she left Germany with her parents following the outbreak of war.

		Baddiel and Bradshaw are sitting in Baddiel's large and elaborately furnished house in Belsize Park, north London.
		Baddiel says: 'I forced him into situations that, in a way, he'd rather not confront.' Like Bradshaw, his character, Lord Peter, is blind in one eye; Baddiel wrote a storyline in which he injures his other eye.
		Baddiel puts in frequent references to the Holocaust, and one set-up requires you to laugh when a door is opened to reveal a room full of Ku Klux Klan members.

	OFF THE TELLY: Comedy/Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned
		The reinvention of David Baddiel from slightly foppish stude to a knees-up mine's-a-pint lad has resulted in the complete reinvention of the comedy persona that is David Baddiel.
		Whilst Baddiel was one of the prime movers provoking reams of tedious musings on comedy as the new rock'n'roll ("Hello Wembley!") Skinner's variety show cum sitcom Packet of Three failed to have much impact, as did his low-key Blue Heaven (albeit made during the Fantasy years).
		The meshing of Baddiel and Skinner was at first glance an unlikely union, with the former something of a new-wave high flyer, and the latter an unreconstructed traditionalist.

		Baddiel, 36, has never made any secret of his love for hard core pornography and his endless passion for football - two more fl marks there, my boy - but there is something unkind and irrational about my aversion to him.
		Baddiel sifts through his own life for his comic material, describing his method of working as a "cry for attention" which has manifested itself in a "sheer desire to paint myself kind of large".
		Baddiel does not remember much about his childhood, which, he surmises, probably means that he was unhappy.

		If Baddiel is saying he believes race rather than culture, family or society makes us who we are, then it would indeed be quite interesting of him to come out and say so.
		As a Jew, Baddiel does not need to be reminded that terrible things have happened because of people being exhorted to "use the evidence of their own eyes" to judge others.

		Baddiel concedes that he has a slight image problem, but believes it has less to do with his humour than with his class: "I am always being called smug," he says, sounding faintly petulant.
		Baddiel is not as old as the Prince of Wales, but he's more mature than his comedy might lead you to believe.
		Baddiel later graduated to the phenomenally popular Fantasy Football League, a BBC chat show in which he and Frank Skinner made obscure in-jokes loosely based on their love of football.

	Fiction-Net Book Reviews - Review - David Baddiel - Whatever Love Means
		The opening section of David Baddiel's second novel charts the history of an intense and passionately sexual liaison set against the background of the most hysterical time in recent memory.
		Baddiel's novel digs beneath the surface of this reaction and uses it as a catalyst to explore the nature of love and grief on a more genuinely personal level.
		Baddiel seems able to credit his readers with the knowledge that real life doesn't provide these convenient warnings and that, sometimes, stories too are better without them.

		Baddiel’s Syndrome is not ashamed to be a sitcom: that is, it's got jokes and genuinely inter-connected plots and a live audience laughter-track."

	The Secret Purposes By David Baddiel
		With The Secret Purposes, David Baddiel has jettisoned the manic energy and wit of his previous novels (and TV career) in an attempt to stake his claim as a “serious” writer.
		The story is loosely based on the life of Baddiel’s grandfather, a Jew growing up in the German town of Königsburg during World War Two, who found his way to the Isle of Man to live as a refugee for the remainder of the hostilities.
		The book’s key flaw is that Baddiel’s style of writing often feels bloated and you get the impression that he is being too self-consciously earnest as he writes.

		David Baddiel's third novel recounts the story of Isaac Fabian, a German Jewish refugee interned on the Isle of Man during World War II.
		It's obviously a tale close to Baddiel's heart - his grandfather was an internee on the island - but there are a number of problems here.
		Baddiel's tale, though in part very poignant and realistic, suffers greatly from this tenuous romance.

	The Secret Purposes by David Baddiel - review
		Although largely unknown in the United States, David Baddiel is a popular television figure in the United Kingdom, more recognized for his humor, both on screen and on the page, than for his serious literary endeavors.
		Baddiel has taken an incident from his family history––the internment of his grandfather–– and has expanded it into a novel that explores the lives of Jews living within the United Kingdom during World War II.
		Baddiel's characters cling to what they can, though, and dole out their support in calculated parcels.

		Baddiel's mission was to try and uncover the truth about his mother's parentage - she had always believed herself to be adopted, possibly the daughter of her uncle.

		Isaac is a Marxist but his philosophies feel tacked on, and Baddiel’s writing is so convoluted it distances his characters and plays havoc with the narrative tension essential to his plot.
		Baddiel cannot resist playing a final game with fact and fiction, and it undermines his own integrity as a writer.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - Newman And Baddiel In Pieces
		With the radio and TV series of The Mary Whitehouse Experience (in which they appeared alongside Punt and Dennis), comedy double-act Newman and Baddiel enjoyed a meteoric rise to pop-star-like status, going on to fill massive auditoriums (Wembley Arena, for one) for their live shows.
		The pair appeared separately in two locations - Baddiel in a flat that he shared with his girlfriend; Newman in a bizarrely palatial set - and from here they delivered monologues that introduced the week's themes and linked the sketches.
		On 13 December 1993 BBC2 presented Newman And Baddiel On The Road To Wembley, a documentary (of sorts) that looked at the double-act making their TV series and going on tour, building from a gig in front of 100 fans at Norwich to a massive turn-out at Wembley Arena.

		They've sunk a ship on which the passengers were their own people!' June finds that her grip on language is sinking, as the exigencies of war wrench all communication out of focus.
		However, Baddiel has ditched the hysteric energy of his previous novels for a more sombre tone, and in the process, lost some of his verve and confidence.

	BookkooB : Whatever Love Means - David Baddiel : Compare Book Prices
		David Baddiel has outdone himself- I read "Time For Bed" on the recommendation of a fellow traveller in the UK, and was hooked.
		This feeling of a lack of grounding in something concrete seemed to be a bit of a theme: maybe now David Baddiel has a child of his own he'll cringe at the amazingly child-free lifestyle of one of his main characters whilst being a single parent.
		The book's written in a lovely style, Baddiel's way of looking and commenting on many facets of modern life is excellent, and it sometimes seems amazing that this is the same person I've watched so often on Newman and Baddiel, and Fantasy Football League.
