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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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