Brilliant! The Fast Show gang reunite to celebrate the cult sketch show
RICHARD MCCLURE, IAN MACEWAN
Life in the FAST LANE

It’s more than 25 years since The Fast Show zoomed on to TV with quick-fire sketches, larger-than-life characters and catchphrases.

Two programmes on Gold look back at the cult comedy this week, including interviews with the cast – Charlie Higson, Paul Whitehouse, Simon Day, Arabella Weir, John Thomson and Mark Williams – plus classic clips and appearances from some Fast Show favourites.

Here, co-creators Higson and Whitehouse, both 62, share their memories of working on the series…

Which Fast Show character did you enjoy playing the most?

Higson The painter, Johnny. I adored the bits where he loses it and goes off into this weird, paranoid fantasy world. I loved being able to smash everything up!
