Seemingly altruistic Andrew is focusing his troubling charm on the elderly parents of Stephen's ex-wife Alison. Blunt and uncompromising Uncle Geoff gets married and 're-greens' his farm. And the opening of a spectacular rival pub threatens the very future of The John Barleycorn.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Dane Baptiste, Felicity Ward, Ivo Graham, Joel Dommett, London Hughes, Russell Kane, Seann Walsh, Tom AllenOriginally produced by BBC Studios in 2019.Takes the funniest routines from the UK’s best-loved comedians, and brings them side-splittingly to life in sketch form. Each act begins telling their story in front of a live audience. As they continue their narration on stage, there’s no need to picture the scene yourself – a surreal short-film reconstruction does the work for you. Every scene sees the comedians play the roles they were born to play – themselves. And as their voiceover describes the action, dialogue in the routines is lip-synced by the sketch performers.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
