I'm not a fan of stand-up comedy, personally. But some of them are incredibly skilled.

I can't remember ever cooking food to impress a woman. The idea's quite cheesy and sort of makes my skin crawl. But I sometimes make a special effort to impress my cats, with chicken liver or something. It's tricky to know if a cat's impressed. They might give me a little look, a glimpse at least. That's cat ownership for you.

I get tempted to do a reality show because I enjoy them so much.

That's the thing, you see, we were never good enough to write proper punchlines.

Catterick' was originally a movie. That was what we intended for it and we had the money for it and everything. But we couldn't be bothered - I know that sounds terrible, but it's the truth. At a later stage we went back, split it up and made it into the TV series. But, yeah that was supposed to be a movie and we just didn't bother.

Our new programmes have always just been different vehicles for the same sort of comedy.

It's like cooks don't watch cooking programmes - I suppose maybe comedians don't watch comedy shows.

We've always been a slightly specialist interest, and as you get older, for specialist interest programmes I think broadcasters are probably looking for younger talent, really.

I sometimes wonder, with the Oxbridge comics, the broadcasters seem to say, at some point, now I trust you to do a documentary, you can be the voice for a maths show, or whatever. I don't think we're ever considered in that way.

If you want the best audience, make your way up North to be honest.
