He also presented the documentary ] and appears regularly on ]'s "Top 100" series of programmes. Most recently he has presented ] for ] taking a wry look at the weeks celebrity news.He is known to have a penchant for ] and the ], as well as various video games, and regularly refers to them all (and anything else he approves of) as "bruwyant". He started off his career in radio by phoning up ] and trying (sometimes successfully) to be funny. | |||
| Iain's nationality has been the subject of discussion, but it is known that he was brought up in ] and attended Herschel Grammar School. | |||
| ==LBC radio show== | |||

| Iain originally joined the station to present the 10pm to 1am slot on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. His style is less political and more irreverent than other presenters, such as ] with whom he has in the past had a running feud involving practical jokes such as substituting a picture of ] for the picture of Clive Bull on the official LBC 97.3 website. | |||
| Iain & Clive have now buried the hatchet to become "Radio Friends"; however a new feud started with old friend ], Iain calling James a 'Moonface'. So James O'Brien challenged Iain to a race around a football pitch. Iain was very confident by saying "He would moonwalk the finish line", and beat James O'Brien on ] 2005 in a race held at Westway Sports Centre. | |||

Some cynical listeners have suggested that Igor is actually a real-life friend of Iain's and that the whole thing is an elaborate hoax. Igor has now been allowed back on Iain's show for singing him an apology. | |||
| Iain has a number of correspondents, who are regular listeners, appointed by him to report on subjects such as ], 'business', 'Clive Bull', 'Daisy Sampson' and ']', all via 'The ]'. The opportunity to become a correspondent is a rare one and much valued by his fans. To celebrate his birthday, a small number of correspondents have been favoured with the even more prestigious title of "Uber-Correspondent" but the one which the biggest prestigious title was Vatsal from India with "Web Uber Veteran 5 Star Correspondent". This hallowed status can only be dreamt of by most. On 23rd September 2005 a major shakeup of the correspondent list occurred. Some lost their jobs, but others joined the lineup to bring listeners updates on even more varied subjects. However, a special "Diagnosis Murder" correspondent was elected on the 15th November. Another shakeup happened on 27 December 2005, when some new correspondents were instantly promoted to "Uber Correspondent", (quite a few cuts were made and about 20 new correspondents appointed). | |||
| Ian has his own master of sound effects known only as Wisdom Jones, renowned for his terrible sound effects. Many believe that Ian felt sorry for him and thus allowed him the post. | |||
