Bradley Walsh's Comedy Legends

Episode 3 - Double Acts

Bradley Walsh unpacks what it takes to make it as a comedy duo whilst celebrating his favourite double acts of all time. Do opposites attract as with The Two Ronnies and French & Saunders? Or is it a case of them sharing a sense of the world and why it's funny, like Fry & Laurie or Armstrong & Miller? Bradley challenges today's comedy legends to unravel the secrets of the genre, alongside classic archive clips and first-hand anecdotes from his life in the business.
