What comedy sketches would you most want at your side to face the end of the world? This week interviewer J.P. Doom interviews Frankie "Flesh Eater" Harris about a life at the top of the Most Wanted list, and discusses what sketch-based chuckles he would choose to lighten his heart if he found himself stranded in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
The show includes clips from spurious comedy greats such as Mace and Dixon's The Fiancée of Frankenstein sketch, the ultimate Mastermind parody from Jenkin Spleen and Helena Handcart, and the fast-talking lunacy of the Klutz Brothers' classic A Day at the Proctologists.
