I think it's very easy to get discouraged early on.

I think what's difficult is proving to people that a script actually does work and sometimes the laughter might not be on the page, it might be between the lines.

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

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

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

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.

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.
