Private Eye editor Ian Hislop has said that Ricky Gervais is one of his least favourite comics.
Speaking to the Radio Times, the Have I Got News For You satirist singled out the Derek star as the man most likely to persuade him to switch his TV set off.
Of comedy he enjoys, the 51-year-old highlighted Jack Whitehall's Channel 4 sitcom Fresh Meat, adding: "I was watching Raw Meat - er, Fresh Meat - with Jack Whitehall.
"He is very funny in it but I think, 'Is student life really like that now?'. I mean, it's terrifying, isn't it?
"It's one of those comedies that is both sort of deeply worrying and, of course, very funny. I've been watching some very odd things."
