The Mock The Week regular and star of The Thick Of It has to make some tough decisions about his hometown, Manchester.

Err… well United. We were always a United family. I don’t care about football in the slightest but I’ve got to stick with family loyalty.United or City?

It’s cool to say you like Joy Division but I’ve got to say New Order because I grew up with them and Peter Hook went to one of my first gigs. It went terribly and I remember Peter Hook with his children holding his head in his hands and staring at me like I had murdered someone.Joy Division or New Order?

That is difficult. I have to say Atherton as I went to the same school as him. There is loyalty there. I think he was in his last year as I went into my first year at Manchester Grammar School.Flintoff or Atherton?

Oasis as I don’t know anything about Kasabian. I’m too old.Oasis or Kasabian?

I have never been to Saint Petersburg but I think Los Angeles is one of the great under-rated cities. Some people say it is horrible but I quite like it.Saint Petersburg or Los Angeles (both twin cities with Manchester)?

That’s a tough one. My childhood was Granada TV but Media City is really great actually so I’ll say Salford Quays.Granada TV or Salford Quays?
