Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This captures British comedy at its most commercially dominant yet personally fractious — Newman and Baddiel were the first comedians to sell out Wembley Arena, a feat that arguably destroyed them.

Trivia

Sean Lock appears here in early form, years before becoming the sardonic glue of '8 Out of 10 Cats' — spot the difference between his energy and theirs.
