Series 1, Episode 6 - Growing Up
Further details
In The Funny Thing about Growing Up, Johnny Vegas buttons up his duffle coat and takes an irreverent look at life, all the way from our earliest memories of being a baby, and up to becoming an adult but still acting like a baby.
Top comedians and celebrities offer their real-life stories, confessions and anecdotes to bring their childhoods to life for viewers' amusement. What made Suzanne Shaw mess herself up a tree? What made Megan McKenna mess herself behind the sofa? How did 'H' from Steps make Gary Barlow mess himself? Are we detecting a theme here?
Luckily there are some cleaner recollections. Whose mum used their head to crack eggs, and who used to taunt new co-workers with a giant onion ring? Whose treasure hunt party turned up a secret stash of condoms, and who went to school with Hard-On Harvey? Okay, those were not much cleaner, but growing up is a messy business--and a funny one.
