I always think it's just best to just make stuff and to carry on making stuff, even if it's not off your own back, because that's the only way... especially as a comedy writer, I make short films and then show them to live audience, so if they're laughing you know you're doing something right.

We always wanted to make a comedy that was a little bit more than that, which had tragic elements to it... that people engaged with - an intelligent comedy essentially.

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

I think 99% of the whole thing is to have passion about the idea yourself. I think part of your job as a filmmaker is to tell someone that might not think it's going to work that, actually, it will work.

If you can make someone believe that you believe in the idea then I think that's worth a lot.

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

Ironically, there isn't much comedy film in Britain, which is quite surprising seeing that we're quite good at it.
