Argumental
Dave's very own comedy debating series is back in October with more brand new episodes.
Host John 'The Sarge' Sergeant oversees proceedings with his trademark, ribald personality, as team captains Marcus Brigstocke and Rufus Hound are asked to argue against received wisdom, as well as defend comments that most people would struggle to find any good in at all. With plenty of lively debate, some quick thinking and some sneaky point scoring, Argumental takes all the most topical and contentious issues of the day and rips them to shreds.
Joining Marcus and Rufus each week are outspoken guests from the world of comedy, so things are bound to get a little heated. And silly. And, in some of these episodes, even naked. Yes, one of the team captains whose initials are R and H is prepared to shed his clothes to make his point. Now that, as Roy Castle used to say, is dedication.
When is it on?
Argumental is next on at 10:00 pm
on Tuesday, 24th November on Dave.

Marcus Brigstocke's Argumental blog
It's a sight from which I don't think I'll ever truly recover: Rufus Hound prancing about stark-bollock naked right before my eyes.
John Sergeant
One of the foremost journalists and political experts Britain's ever produced; John is not a man to mess with.
Marcus Brigstocke
It's a rare man that can make history hilarious and corduroy cool, but Marcus is that man.
Rufus Hound
The gifted presenter and actor has cultivated some of the finest facial hair in the biz.

Just watched the episode of Argumental with Mark Watson & Hugh Dennis. I'm originally from Portsmouth, but Mark got it spot on - if you're travelling to Portsmouth at night on the train you're in trouble! Couldn't help laugh at this... There is, however, somewhere worse... It's called Southampton! =]

Had a brainwave! I'm recording it on Dave Ja Vu! Clearly the second best channel (though with the best name!)

Just watched the repeat and got even more notes! Still could really really do with some sort of transcript or some way of being able to pause and rewind it. Can anything be done to help me?

Hi, I'm not sure anyone can help me on here. I can't seem to find any sort of 'Contact Me' option. I'm currently studying for a Masters Dissertation on Religion and Popular Culture. The episode aired on 10-11-09 is really fantastic for my research! Is there any way of getting some sort of transcript for the episode so I can study it in more depth? Do love the show!

I had such a horrific day yesterday, and my silver lining was knowing that Argumental was on later that evening. It did not disappoint. I nearly died laughing!! It cheered me up no end, and seeing Rufus Hound naked and doing yoga right infront of Marcus Brigstocke just to win a round in a game show was possibly one of the funniest (and most surreal) things I've ever seen. I love Argumental, thankyou Dave!! :D

RE: mickeyM63955 - that's definitely an argument in favour of introducing involuntary euthanasia for Jeremy Kyle fans! :-)

I have tickets to be in the argumental audience. However, it says on the eticket that it is first come first serve, so i should arrive as early as possible. Was just wondering how early they mean? Cheers

Argumental is the 1st Debatecom I've ever seen, and I'd say its pretty Damn good, Rufus, Marcus and John are the great Trio which is Argumental! The only people that say that they dislike John Seargant are the ones who watch that damned Dance programme Strictly come Dancing!

shearsyboi | 5 Jan 09
I actually find this program quite amusing. The comedians are quite popular, I mean, I recognise all of them and I don't pay any attention to celebrities. Honestly, some of them are actually quite funny. I suppose this program isn't probably aimed at the wee geeks, as they seem to take it all too seriously. Helloo... don't take comedy shows so seriously. It's a laugh, it's a giggle. Wayhey.

John is a TERRIBLE host with absolutely no charisma or comedy talent whatsoever. He can read a teleprompter, which is just about enough to get by, but catch him off guard and he just doesn't come up with anything original whatsoever.
-
Space Alien | 20 Dec 08
There's something about this program that annoys me ...maybe it's because everyone is so posh and a bit snobby, mainly John, Marcus and Rufus...but then Marcus makes up for it for being so unbelievably cute and funny...

The majority of comedians on the Argumental program are extremely hilarious! I love the program and will do anything to watch every program. Thanks for running it, and also the other comedy programs.

I love watching Argumental and you're right, the advert did not really do it much justice. As my TV practically lives on this Channel, I came across it that way. Although, is it me or am I the only one who thinks the guests Marcus has been up against each week is a little unfair. (Daro O'brien, Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr, Johnny Vegas, and tonight Hugh Dennis, to name a few.) My point is that they are all well known and very funny comedians. I didn't even know who the guy was on Marcus's team tonight. I dont know if it's just me but It does seem a little one-sided!

I love this programme. The name is not the greatest and the advertising is definately not the best I have ever seen but I think this is a brilliant show that maes me wish for monday to come round again. That is how much I love this, I wish for the most depressing day of the week to come round so that I can have a 40 minutelook at the geinious that is Marcus Brigstock, Rfus Hound and John Sergeant!

Fizzwidgit | 11 Nov 08
Never judge a programme on advertising. This is a fantastic, top notch comedy quizcom, and I whole-heartedly reccommend it to all.

Good programme, worth giving a try if you haven't already.

When I first saw the advert for this on Dave, I didn't think it looked very good. Looks can be deceiving, it's a brilliant show!

Look I'm not usually a belligerent kinda fella but I direct you to this quote: "I certainly won't confront you on your opinions because... well, they're your opinions; I have no right to confront you on them, and I'm certainly not self-righteous enough to try and confront you so that you change them. People's tastes differ - Dave ask for comments, and you should be prepared for both positive and negative. It might help you occasionally to realise that the concept of differing opinions is not entirely an anomaly." Which infers that I also have no right to confront Monk on his opinions in return. I have no problem with people having differing points of view, but I do find it somewhat galling when I'm told that I have no right to question or challenge them if I don't agree.

@The Monk. So in short you claim the god-given right to express your opinion on a public forum and have no-one question that opinion. Glad we cleared that one up.
-
mattgc | 4 Nov 08
@ The Monk. So you appear to dislike Dave because it shows repeats and you absolutely despise Rufus Hound. Yet not only do you tune into the channel you dislike to watch a program co-hosted by a person you despise, you also join the website of the channel you dislike to post a red-mist diatribe. Are you some kind of masochist? Here's a tip. Find a channel you like that features talent you admire... and watch it! Simple really.

Considering all the hype this was getting, it's actually pretty good in my opinion. One of the shows that actually make me laugh too!
