French & Saunders鈥� relationship started when they were college flatmates, entertaining each other by playing pranks and inventing characters. Behind the scenes at a recording of their successful podcast, Titting About, it鈥檚 clear they鈥檙e still sparking off each other to create comedy.
imagine鈥� charts their journey from the game-changing Comic Strip team, which helped launch the new Channel 4 in 1982, to their domination of 成人快手 schedules over the decades and their recent ventures on the stage, the page and in film.
Dawn and Jennifer revisit the former site of the Comic Strip Club in Soho where a group of young comedians revolutionised the comedy scene. Alongside interviews with Comic Strip comedians Alexei Sayle, Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer, Dawn and Jennifer tell the story of being the women in a team that would change the face of television. Just five years after Dawn and Jennifer met, they would be part of The Comic Strip Presents鈥� Five Go Mad in Dorset, shown on the launch night of the new Channel 4.
At the start of French and Saunders鈥� career comedy was still firmly a male domain. Interviews with later generations of female comics like Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, who Dawn and Jennifer encouraged when they were a young double act, reveal how empowering their presence on TV was at the time.
Dawn and Jennifer are joined by a cast of collaborators including Dame Joanna Lumley, Ruby Wax, Richard Curtis and Alexei Sayle. These interviewees help to reveal the caustic wit behind their cosy exterior and show the huge impact that French & Saunders had on the generations of comedians that followed.

We begin in the oldest desert on earth 鈥� the Namib, in SW Africa. A pair of ostriches raise their family in the searing heat to keep them safe from predators 鈥� but time is ticking as the chicks begin to hatch.
Away from the tropics, in the cold waters off North America, the sun fuels forests of giant kelp. It is a dangerous place for young horn sharks 鈥� giant sea bass and large sharks patrol through the kelp, but the real danger is buried beneath. A little horn shark unwittingly stumbles into an ambush set by an angel shark. With a lightning strike, it is swallowed whole, but it is not over yet 鈥� the little horn shark has a secret weapon.
From kelp forests to rainforests, animals must develop remarkable strategies to survive and in the Amazon jungle, alien-like treehoppers form surprising alliances to keep their young safe and fight off deadly assassin bugs. Here it pays to work together.
Leopards are the most adaptable of big cats, and a handful of special individuals have learnt to hunt by hiding and leaping from treetops - some higher than the roof of a two storey house. Their lives depend on them getting this unique game of hide and seek right, and when they do, their prey doesn鈥檛 see them coming.
In Botswana, nestled amongst flowering water lilies, newly hatched 鈥榣ily-trotter鈥� chicks learn a vital lesson 鈥� how to 鈥榳alk on water鈥�.
South Africa鈥檚 Robberg Peninsula, is a treacherous place to start life. Thousands of Cape fur seals are squeezed onto a small ledge.

Many animals must now rise to a new challenge 鈥�.living alongside us. Some animals are meeting this challenge head on and thriving. In Bali, long-tailed macaques have learned to steal tourists鈥� most valued items, and then use them to barter with temple staff for their favourite food.

Caroline Aherne: Comedy Queen
成人快手 Two and 成人快手 iPlayer
The unique life and talent of Caroline Aherne is celebrated in a new Arena film, featuring unseen photographs and contributions from a cast of her lifelong friends, including Steve Coogan, John Thomson, Craig Cash and producer Andy Harries.
Aherne鈥檚 pioneering representation of working class and family life in The Royle Family won her three Baftas and changed comedy writing forever, while her alter-ego Mrs Merton鈥檚 question to stage performer Debbie McGee - 鈥淪o what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?鈥� - is considered one of the greatest comic one-liners in British TV history.
The film traces Aherne鈥檚 life from childhood in Wythenshawe, Manchester, through her early adventures as a (rare) woman on Manchester鈥檚 alternative stand-up scene and the breakthrough moment when the 成人快手 commissioned The Mrs Merton Show, when she fast became a national icon and surreptitious satirist-in-chief of mid-90s鈥� celebrity culture.
As the 90s entered its final years Aherne, with Craig Cash, conceived, wrote and starred in The Royle Family. Co-writers Henry Normal and Phil Mealy, and fellow cast members Sue Johnston, Ricky Tomlinson and Ralf Little recall the remarkable writing and acting talent at the heart the series - a sitcom playing out in near-real time, devoid of studio laughter, punchlines, or anything much happening at all - but that built huge audiences and garnered multiple awards.
As her star rose, the realities of living with her own fame came to define Aherne鈥檚 life, as she became a fixture of tabloid speculation about her personal life, something she would struggle with throughout her career.
Tragically Caroline died of cancer in 2016. Her friends recall not just the lasting cultural and creative legacy she left behind, but of the joy she found in human life, her inimitable sense of mischief and the happiness she brought those closest to her.
