Episode notes
Sir Robin wrote each of these things or you wrote for each other, correct? We didn't cast till after we'd written the shows. And I think that's where Gillian was important. Because he provides the show with a sort of Victorian framework in which the whole thing plays out. That seems to give it some link and connection, which is entirely spurious. Only once did we make a big mistake: It was a very silly sketch set in the trenches. The audience were actually like you did. Stunned silence.
