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

We actually did go on a camping trip together as part of the research, in a caravan, for a week. I guess we picked who annoyed us most from genuine experience. We did a lot of research on camping and what annoys people. It's quite often children playing ball games. It's a huge debate in the caravan world whether children should be allowed to play ball games or not.

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

Growing up, I didn't feel very cool having come from the Midlands.

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.

When I was a kid the highlight of my week would be doing a fossil hunt at the local quarry... that kind of thing.

We developed 'Sightseers' as a TV idea but didn't get anywhere with it because all the channels said it was too dark originally as an idea for television.
