A busy week of filming so far. At the start of the week we buried Simon alive in a coffin with an iphone and a fake moustache. We allowed enough time at the end of filming to dig him up again. It's in his rider.

And then tonight Phil and Peter got together to film a sketch set a long time ago, in a beer garden far, far away. While surrounded by cats. Who won't make it into the sketch. And the noise of planes overhead - looks like we missed the volcano window there.

We'll be editing all this and more for a set of sketches coming some time in late April/early May.

Estate Agent Hell

Who'd have thought that buying a house could be on of the most terrifying experiences of your life? Phil from Missing Hen introduces this sketch that we shot in 2006, but only just finished.
