Simply 23 times Richard Ayoade made our day so much better on Twitter
The great Richard Ayoade is magnificent in everything he does, from acting (Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, The IT Crowd) to presenting (Travel Man, Crystal Maze), from writing (Ayoade on Top, The Book That No-One Wanted to Read) to directing (Submarine, The Double).

re: mic drops – dynamic microphones are rarely damaged by impact. It would be more ‘rock&roll’ to corrode your mic – eg leave in water
