At the festive time of year it's hard to escape those classic double acts and their equally classic Christmas specials. Think Morecambe & Wise, the Two Ronnies, French & Saunders.
In this episode Ellen E Jones & Mark Kermode explore the origins, legacy, and evolution of the double act across film and TV, both in front of and behind the camera. Guests include one half of a double act whose members have both gone on to have successful careers beyond the partnership - Stephen Fry, once of Fry & Laurie.
