Darren Day hams it up in a parody of Cold Mountain as Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders return for their first new comedy sketch series together in eight years. They've got a swanky new office at BBC TV Centre and their very own agent (Maggie Steed), but a distinct lack of ideas for their latest show. What will their panicky producer (Liza Tarbuck) make of it all?
