David Jason stars alongside John Bird, Jan Ravens and Rory Bremner in David Renwick鈥檚 dark and quirky new comedy sketch show that takes a not-altogether-factual look at the history of comedy鈥.
What comedy sketches would you most want at your side to face the end of the world? This week interviewer J.P Doom interviews Frankie 鈥淔lesh Eater鈥 Harris about a life at the top of the Most Wanted list, and discusses what sketch-based chuckles he would choose to lighten his heart if he found himself stranded in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The show includes clips from spurious comedy greats such as Mace and Dixon鈥檚 鈥渢he Fianc茅e of Frankenstein鈥 sketch; the ultimate Mastermind parody from Jenkin Spleen and Helena Handcart; and the fast-talking lunacy of the Klutz Brothers' classic 鈥淎 Day at the Proctologists鈥.
