IDS joins Vaughan in shed show

Ex Tory leader Iain Dunacn-Smith is to feature in Johnny Vaughan's new show for BBC Three.

IDS will be a recurring guest on the programme, Live At Johnny's, when it begins next Monday.

The entire show will come direct from Johnny's garden shed, where IDS will offer a "weekly window on the world of politics" as his "political shed mate."

Vaughan said: "The quiet man of UK politics is a phenomenon. He climbed the greasy pole of British politics with a mixture of stealth and sincerity. Unfortunately, the country seemed to prefer loud sounds and fury signifying nothing."

Duncan-Smith added: "Johnny Vaughan thinks I've agreed to become a regular shed mate on his new show to give a behind-the-scenes account of the goings on in the Houses of Parliament.

"Whilst my contract says I've got to talk a bit about politics I hope sport and the other things that really matter are what we actually discuss. I'll even talk about being a season ticket holder for Spurs - and compared to politics, that really hurts."
