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

Manchester has a certain reputation of being cool.

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

I think both of us [ with Steve Oram], once we decided to do comedy, knew that we would have to come to London to do that.

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.

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.

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.
