‘We had wanted to call it My Bottom, so that people at work the next day would say, “Did you see My Bottom on television last night?”’

Ade and Rik worked by knowing what you could get away with – and then pushing the boundaries.

Well, I didn’t cut it out, I just chose different shots so that you could see less of Rik.
