Episode Notes:

'Hand of Evil' was the first sketch which featured Kevin's Connolly's Michael Howard impression.   There was an earlier sketch featuring Howard recorded for the xmas special, but it wasn't used.

This is the first time we used Dermot Murnaghan and the 'Breakfast' programme to front a topical sketch.

Nev is featured in this episode as a Hobbit, and as Michael Howard's Hand of Evil.
