I& #39;m watching Big Night In hosted by Bill Hicks and Hunter S Thompson. Music from John Coltrane, Steve Reich and Krzysztof Penderecki with comedy sketches from William S Burroughs and JG Ballard with documentary segments by Werner Herzog.

Coming up: Margaret Atwood will be reading The Handmaid& #39;s Tale with musical accompaniment from Patti Smith & David Lynch. Comedy from Schrödinger& #39;s cat/not cat and Stanley Milgram.

Later on there will be lots of comedians. Plus Lenny Henry. Apparently, he& #39;ll be duetting with either Ian Curtis, Adam Curtis, or both on an a cappella version of Johann Sebastian Bach& #39;s & #39;Come, Sweet Death& #39;.
