hate people might
People will love something very much or hate something very much. But the great thing about a sketch show is that if something comes along that you don't like, something else will come along in a minute that hopefully you might like that.
strong mean people
I mean comedy is something that's very personal and people have strong opinions about.
people important dull
It's important to hold something back, though, because quite frankly my personal life is pretty dull and I don't want to bore people with it.
nice hard-work people
It was very pleasurable and easy and it was nice to work with friends... people I already knew, people I didn't know but I now count as friends. There is a lot of hard work that goes into the movie but I can't claim to have been any part of that.
art people creative
Comedians don't have a monopoly on suffering. But creative people are sometimes fortunate enough to be able to incorporate their most traumatic experiences into their art.
skills voice people
People see my impressions as a great skill and I am flattered, but there are things I can't do that everyone else can. I can do funny voices and funny faces but I can't drive.
appeal beyond comedy hoping stretch
I was hoping that the appeal of the show would stretch beyond the anglophile and comedy-obsessed.
beginning found interest lives taken
We've found that our lives are beginning to change, that the press, for instance, has taken an interest in us and our lives.
foundation four
We were friends for four years before we started writing together, so that is the foundation on which our partnership is built.
along bad came camp comics feeling frankie gave gay john kenneth loved positive school single williams
I loved all the camp comics of my childhood, Kenneth Williams and Frankie Howerd and John Inman, but school gave me a very bad feeling about being gay and then, when I was about 12 - bang, along came AIDS. I can't think of a single positive thing about being gay at that time.

We're trying to fill the gaps in the collection. Several schools have opened since the museum was originally created, and for other schools, we simply don't have any items to display.
characters series
We're going to kill some characters off in the new series
age came enjoy hard success
Success came to us at an age where we could enjoy it. We went through a lot of hard times, so we appreciate success all the more now.
approach believe carry funniest hype longer main natural
I think that's natural because it's no longer new to them. Our main approach is to carry on doing what we do, not believe our own hype and do what we've always done, which is try and make the funniest show possible.
