ExplicitThe Dave Weekly: Argumental Special - Sean Lock, Seann Walsh and NOT Robert Webb | Argumental is back for a brand new series on Dave so we thought is was only right and proper to get the new host and team captains on this week's show. So, we convinced Sean Lock, Seann Walsh but NOT Robert Webb to talk to Ben. He refused to talk to us and thus shall never be forgiven. Pin back your ear-holes for some choice clips from the show, some lovely bits of chat and the most painful quiz Sean Lock has ever had to participate in. He HATED Ben's quiz. It's so bad we had to keep it in. | 28 10 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Dave weekly
Amazing podcast Ben Shires is very amusing and great guests a must listen for comedy fans!
Pretty witty
Russell Kane episode best one yet - do find the presenter a bit cocky but the guests are great and he does get interesting interviews out of them.
Hmmm...
Not bad so far, but I'm guessing they'll just repeat the first five episodes endlessly! ;o)
