Series charting the history of some of the best of British comedy shows looks at the Fast Show. Students at the University of East Anglia, Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson, wanted to be rock stars, but via Hackney Council and Harry Enfield's Television Programme they came up with the idea for a comedy show of their own. Narrated by Doon Mackichan, interviewees include stars Paul Whitehouse, Charlie Higson, John Thompson, Arabella Weir, Mark Williams and Simon Day.

Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Matt Lucas, Ulrika Jonsson, Will Self and Charlie Higson reflect on the anarchic, unpredictable game show. Who fancied Ulrika, how was Noel Edmonds key to her involvement, and who evolved into Andy Pipkin on Little Britain? Doon MacKichan narrates.
