The idea(r) of how

Hi,

1. At 2:14 and 2:25, Skandar Keynes says '...the idea(r) of how...'.

How often is this intrusive r found in England? Who are more likely to have it in their speech? Is it something to be avoided? Does it sound strange to other English speaking people?

2. From 2:07, can you help me complete this sentence: "Yes, me and Ben, hopefully we are gonna sort of be ____ , which should be great"?

Oops!
Can someone please tell me why the guy on the left said "much more angry"?
I supposed it should have been "much angrier".

Is it used to be more emphatic?

Thanks!
