Here's an idea, how about a Bullshit Update Special? I'd like to see how some of what P&T have featred have fared since being on the show. Like Mindy from the "Endangered Species" show, or "Ground Zero". Have they considered this?

That's a good idea. Also, how about a Bullshit Christmas Special?

Cheers

Bullshit: X-mas...

That would be great! They could have a bit of fun picking on Jesus, an easy target, and then they could highlight something great like the "Bloody days of X-mas"

HayamaSB, yeah I think it would be about how far removed the current ideas of christmas are from religion. The christians are hanging on to christmas with their fingernails as a special day for them. I believe they are 1 step away from writting another book of the bible it will soon go... Matthew, Mark Luke, Paul and Santa.

On a similar note I'm attending a seminar (I use the word 'seminar' for lack of a better one) by both atheist scientists and atheist comedians in december about how atheists can still celebrate christmas. One of the speakers (and, if I'm honest, the reason I bought a ticket) is Richard Dawkins.

Cheers

Great idea

Great idea. Louis Theroux, for his Weird Weekends show (highly recommended), had a Christmas special that brought together various and sundry guests from previous shows--a religious nut, a porn star, a dude who claims to channel an alien, etc. Pretty funny stuff.

Re: Louis Theroux recommendation

Seconded!

Also his book follows up on the porn guy and the alien channeling guy. Worth a read if you thought 'what ever happened to those guys?'

Cheers
