The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
MC: Most things by Vic & Bob. Top two Shooting Stars sketches have to be Geordie Jeans and Coldland.
The funniest book I’ve ever read …
MO: I still laugh on my fourth or fifth re-reading of the early Adrian Mole books. He’ll always be my literary hero. But Alan Partridge’s Nomad is a recent contender.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
MC: In 1987, for about a fortnight, I took it upon myself to try and create my own look. One of the “set pieces” was my grandad’s ill-fitting leather waistcoat – which stank of ammonia – and a trilby hat with swimming badges pinned on it.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
MO: When I was 13, I decided I needed a haircut identical to Neil Tennant’s on the cover of Pet Shop Boys’ Behaviour album. I looked like a prick.
MC: Mine was a flick with highlights; I was desperate for highlights. So my mum paid for me to have them done for my 16th birthday. I thought I looked incredible – I looked like Selina Scott.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
MO: I dreamed that Channel 4 had put out our series, but with younger actors playing Lee and Dean. Miles’s replacement had a full head of magnificent hair.
The funniest word …
MO: The word “again” makes almost every sentence funnier: “Nan’s stuck in the tumble drier … again.”
