Award-winning comedy duo Laurence Howarth and Gus Brown present a sketch show stuffed full of all that's hysterically heartfelt and mind, er, thought.

Why do we hurt the ones we love? How do you spot the real grail? Is there an easy solution to the problems in the Middle East? All questions answered, at least in part, by the first series. In the latest series Laurence and Gus look into topics such as beauty and ugliness, and lying and honesty.

Our Review: There's some great sketches in this series, which bounces all over the place in terms of topics. The chemistry between the two lead stars also adds to the fun.

There's a strong writing team behind the show, so perhaps its not a surprise a couple of the sketches each week are built on genius ideas. However, as with many sketch shows, it should be noted this comedy does serve up a few dud skits too.
