I never particular felt anything for Satsuma: I thought most of her problems were of her own making and no sympathy was directed her way, and thought she was pretty flat except when we were delving in to her schooldays. In October 2015, Mortimer underwent triple bypass surgery, which led to the cancellation of the first leg of the Reeves and Mortimer 25 years tour. This above insight covers only two years of an influential comedy career that is still ongoing - will I ever laugh any harder at live comedy than the time that the seemingly natural response to smashing each other with increasing size foam frying pans was of course to bring on a giant cheese grater, with the necessary vicious up and down action and overdubbed sound effect?

The episode remained true to the classic Big Night Out formula and was composed of various comedy songs, skits, characters and sketches. There is something for everyone here - missing people, murder, a love story and so many funny lines and plot twists. I did make a good connection with a girl, but that blew up in my face and smacked my arse with a fish slice.

Main character Sally, a woman who gleefully rediscovers her can-do attitude when all the unnecessary peripherals start to fall away.

After leaving university with an LLM in Welfare Law, he moved to London and became a solicitor for Southwark Council.
