Summary

What happens when Alan Carr and Bob Mortimer get together right after filming Last One Laughing? Absolute mayhem. From being told to “f*ck off” by Romesh Ranganathan, to phantom sh*tters in Wythenshawe, to Bob’s very unexpected holiday romance… this episode is pure Bob-flavoured joy. There’s also a deep dive on comedy legends like Monty Python and Spike Milligan, how “idiot comedy” is dying out, and why Bob thinks YouTube has changed everything. Plus: skydiving fears, caravan snogging, supermarket obsessions, Gone Fishing and one of the funniest quickfire rounds you’ll hear all year.
