Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney discuss their comedy

The co-writers, who also star in Channel 4's sitcom Catastrophe, which returns for its third series, wanted to portray a recognisable marriage, not a sitcom marriage, that 'in real life' would end in a 'murder-suicide'.

In bed with Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan

It's an unusual, slightly alarming privilege to be invited to watch a "bedroom scene". Especially given that, in Channel 4's superb sitcom, Catastrophe, the bedroom sometimes feels like one of the few places where married couple Sharon and Rob (writer/stars Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney) don't get it on.

Catastrophe Series 3

With two series in 2015 and none in 2016 it feels like ages since Catastrophe was last on our screens, but thankfully Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan are back with six more brilliantly funny, incredibly honest and dysfunctional episodes.

Carrie Fisher's role in the third series of Channel 4 sitcom Catastrophe will be a "fitting tribute", say its makers.

BBC News, 8th February 2017

Last time we saw them, Sharon and Rob were stuffing their faces with pizza, having just reconciled after his sexual harassment suit, when Rob found a receipt for the morning-after pill. Tackling the inevitable fallout from this, the third series will surely be as funny and excruciating as the last. This, guaranteed, will be the best Channel 4 comedy of the year.
