Press

Sue Perkins is Sally Phillips's final guest of a series that has been more enjoyable than any clip show has a right to be. Among Perkins's choices are Not the Nine O'Clock News's Gerald the Gorilla, Will Ferrell's "more cowbell" SNL skit and a vintage bit from Julie Walters and the much-missed Victoria Wood.
