Celebrating even more of the comedy magic that made The Fast Show a roaring success in the 90s, The Fast Show: More Blooming Catchphrases takes a deeper dive into the archives and unearths a mixture of hidden gems and the stories behind classic sketches.
Join Charlie Higson as he visits The Fast Show archives in the vaults of the University of East Anglia library and reveals old scripts, forgotten characters, and just how the team put the shows together.
