French & Saunders in sketch history

French & Saunders reflect upon and relive their work in Victoria Wood's series on the history of sketch comedy.

The two-part show, which began last night on BBC1, charts the timeline of funnies from 'Not Only But Also' to 'The Fast Show'.

While Jennifer played "the mistress of understatement", Dawn described herself as, "the gagmeister, face-pulling twit." She added: "Doing Hannibal was great," referring to their remake of 'The Silence of the Lambs'.

Jennifer on Dawn: "[She] can be very surreal. The physical stuff she does in wonderful."

Look out for more from French & Saunders in next week's concluding part of 'Victoria Wood's Sketch Show Story'.
