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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.
