David admitted that the whole experience was nerve-wracking, especially having to interview the guests live, with producers talking in his ear-piece.  "I mean, I don't like listening to people at the best of times," he joked.  "But once the show was underway it turned out to be great fun, and I just felt happy and relaxed to be working with Lisa.  Sometimes when you're good friends with someone in real life, it doesn't necessarily work on screen, but it felt like we were really good together." 
And Matt Lucas' verdict? "An appalling and senseless waste of human life!" Ta, Matt.

Cheers Tanya for this.
