Episode 4 of 4

The country鈥檚 admired weather forecast director chooses the laughs. Rory Bremner stars in post-apocalyptic sketches. From 2017.

David Jason stars in the final episode of David Renwick's post-apocalyptic comedy alongside John Bird, Jan Ravens and Rory Bremner.

Each week JP Doom interviews an iconic cultural behemoth about the comic moments they would most like by their side as they face their own mortality.

Sydney Pynchlink, the innovative director behind some of the country's most admired weather forecasts chooses the laughs that would comfort them most during the extinction of all life on the planet; including a joke too dangerous for parliament, a horse with three legs, and a lobster with a rather crucial piece of evidence.
