Sally is joined by master of the absurd, Bob Mortimer. Bob reveals the comedy sketches that turned a young lad from the North East into a solicitor, before finding his true calling with partner Vic Reeves.

The icing on the cake as ever is the remake of Bob's favourite sketch, aided and abetted by host Sally Phillips.
