The Mark Thomas Comedy Product

In the first show of the first ever series, Mark appears to have been trying to prick the pomposity of some of our elected Members of Parliament whose ego's are a bit too big. Mark dressed up in a bear suit and interviewed several MPs - Seb Coe, David Amess, and David Martin.

In this show the team made a visit to McDonalds, and Mark mentioned that the Export Credit Guarantee Loan Scheme (revisited in series 4 and series 5), run by the Department of Trade and Industry, had ensured that exporters to Iraq were paid when Saddam Hussein defaulted on his payments.

In show three, Mark stood for Parliament at the Hemsworth by-election.

In show four, the team did a tour of London, including a few works of art on the Conditionally Exempt Works of Art List.

Show Five was the one with Mark taking a look at MI6 (or was it MI5?) and visiting a Tory 'special interests group'.

In the last episode The Mark Thomas Comedy Product sponsored the 2.30 from Doncaster on the 23rd of March. They named the race the Mark Thomas Chum Special Handicap; it cost £1200 to sponsor. As a sponsor they could have two banners erected around the track. Mark's favourite one, FREE OATS THIS WAY and an arrow pointing in the opposite direction of the race was unfortunately put up after the finish line. As we used up all the money the crew had nothing to eat and Marks mum had to make some cakes for them.
