As their podcast returns

French & Saunders have released a second series of their podcast Titting About today – including some previously unaired sketches.

Over six episodes the duo discuss pets, bucket lists, eating out, life on the road, being bewildered and  comedy.

In that episode, the pair read through original ideas from never-before-seen sketches, and brainstorm a new sitcom they could star in.

French said their discussion could actually lead to a sitcom.

‘Funnily enough, making jokes about a kind of sitcom that would have us in loose trousers and filming close to home and having plenty of snacks on demand started us thinking: "Well actually, that wouldn’t be such a bad thing",’ she told the Radio Times.

‘We had lunch the other week and we were talking about what might be possible… I don’t know if we’re talking about it for real or we just talk about it because we enjoy talking about it.’

Saunders added: ‘ I think we want to talk about it, make it in our front room and then no one ever see it That’s what we want."

French said: ‘I thought it would be mad to do a second series of Titting About… but then we were promised limitless sticky buns, frothy coffees and attractive litigation lawyers… so it seemed borderline churlish not to."

Saunders added: ‘After a combined 120+ years of titting about on this planet, it’s only fitting that we have more than one series to talk about what we do best.’

The podcast is available only to Audible subscribers.
