Diane Morgan On Comedy, Cunk and becoming a robot in Ann Droid

How did Philomena Cunk come about? In this episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show, Romesh is joined by Diane Morgan to talk about her new hit BBC iPlayer sitcom, Ann Droid and her journey into comedy, from working with Charlie Brooker, developing the iconic Philomena Cunk, to working on Ricky Gervais' new series, Alley Cats. Diane reveals how working in a factory pushed her towards her goals and discusses her early comedy influences. The pair talk early career moves, the experience of attending drama school, all the way to working together on Last One Laughing. Plus, there's some mild hate for Hollywood and they get into the difficulties of going plant-based. To top it off, there's an exclusive, a story of how to handle failure (comically) and a question, of course, from Shanthi. A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform Media.
