The film [Sightseers] is really the story of the journey of a relationship, so the killings are almost a metaphor for the trials they go through. We wanted people to identify with the experience of going on holiday and having a quarrel with your wife, boyfriend, whatever. We knew if we didn't crack that it would not be watchable as a film.

Both of us have forged our careers in London, but a lot of my comedy influences come from my family and my childhood.

I think in most couples or partnerships, there's a constant struggle for power and dominance.

Manchester has a certain reputation of being cool.

So many films end up being filmed in London or in the same places over and over again.

'Sightseers' started off as a character comedy double act.

It's nice to think people might be talking about it after they've seen it. With some comedies it's a bit 'wham bam thank you ma'am', and then you just go for a pizza.
