Episode 1
Frankie "Flesh-Eater" Harris's favourite moments of mirth. David Jason and John Bird in post-apocalyptic sketches. From 2016.
David Jason stars alongside John Bird, Jan Ravens and Rory Bremner in David Renwickβs dark and quirky comedy sketch show that takes a not-altogether-factual look at the history of comedyβ¦.
What comedy sketches would you most want at your side to face the end of the world?
In the opening episode, interviewer JP Doom interviews Frankie βFlesh Eaterβ 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.
And there are clips from spurious comedy greats such as Mace and Dixonβs βthe FiancΓ©e of Frankensteinβ sketch; the ultimate Mastermind parody from Jenkin Spleen and Helena Handcart; and the fast-talking lunacy of the Klutz Brothers' classic βA Day at the Proctologistsβ.
