thinking comedy humour
I don't think comedy is necessarily an attack. It's finding humour in life. I don't think if you're making a joke about something you're automatically demeaning it.
thinking names unfortunate
I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name With somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.
thinking funny-things trying
We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.
dark thinking self
I have a pathological fear of being on my own. When I'm with my own thoughts, I start to unravel myself, and I start to think really dark thoughts, self-destructive thoughts.
thinking sugar evening
It was very exciting to see Alan Sugar, so I think I've peaked with excitement for the evening, because I'm a massive Apprentice fan.
thinking people able
I think all those rules are boring. About what people can and can't wear. Surely everyone should be able to wear whatever they like?
thinking water people
Sometimes you meet people who can't swim. And I always think: 'Oh my God, that's extraordinary.' For me, it's always been a treat I just feel really happy in the water.
father swimming thinking
I know some of my parents' friends think 'Little Britain' is in incredibly poor taste. But swimming the Channel? You can't really say anything negative about that, can you? There's nothing better than making your parents happy. The glee on my father's face that day was amazing.
britain british-actor characters knows people
People feel they know me because of my Little Britain characters - But I'm not a Little Britain character. No one knows what I'm really like.
comedy element kids meant naughty watch
I was probably about 12 and The Young Ones wasn't meant for 12-year-olds, but there's always that element in kids where they want to watch the naughty comedy that's not for them.
audience britain hope
We hope the Little Britain audience who like us will come with us on that journey.
school watching
When I was at school I was watching The Young Ones,
characters lots series
We're going to make another series with lots of new characters and old characters together.
eight two lunch
I've done panel shows, which I enjoy, and on those you're recording half-an-hour of TV and sometimes they film for two hours. But with 'Britain's Got Talent,' you're on camera for eight hours, with a large theatre audience watching - and in between you're being filmed for ITV2 as you eat your lunch.
