Being British this should be right up our street, but what is British comedy and how has it evolved over the decades? From Ealing to the Carry On films to the Cornetto trilogy, with lots of Monty Python along the way, we discuss our upbringing and what makes us laugh along with our favourite scenes, performances and top 10s.

Matt has a quiz for Lewis and there is a gripping sealed envelope quiz which comes down to the wire.

We also reveal our top 5 British tv situation comedies, which reveal many similarities.

Is Dr Strangelove a British comedy? How about Paddington 2? Is Alfie a comedy? Much debate over page turning topics such as these along with our top 3 favourite voices, how the last Beatles album’s are like the Python films and why we think that The Boxer contains the best lyrical line in song history. Lewis also miscounts not once, but three times, I mean twice.

We also debate how long comedy films should last, which is a lot shorter than this episode, but please see us out.
