The series is a showcase of the quick-witted comedic minds of the Bafta and British Comedy Award winning double act. Reassembling the much-loved pair as they offer an entertaining and exclusive insight to their warm and mischievous friendship that has flourished since they began creating comedy together as undergraduate students at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Separately they also have worked on two of the most popular UK sitcoms of all time: The Vicar of Dibleyand Absolutely Fabulous.
Dawn French said: “Titting About with Fatty is the best fun I’ve had without my incontinence pants on. Which, on reflection, was a mistake. Some soft furnishings were damaged in the making of this series.”
Jennifer Saunders said:“I can’t imagine anything I’d rather be doing than titting about with Dawn. We both have tits after all”.
French & Saunders: Titting About is produced by Broadcast Press Guild and Sony Gold-winning comedy producer Simon Nicholls.
