Paul Whitehouse has words of wisdom for John Cleese, as he tells Andrew Marr 'you have to tread very carefully' where modern-day comedy is concerned

Speaking on Tonight with Andrew Marr, the comedian reflected on his hit BBC show Harry & Paul - which saw him join forces with legendary comic Harry Enfield, as well as the acceptability of jokes from yesteryear.“There’s a zeal about it - of addressing, perhaps, issues that have gone unaddressed in the past,” reflected the comedian of modern-day censorship, noting there were times where it had gone "a bit too far".

Reflecting on the joy of comedy, the entertainer told Marr: “It’s easy to dismiss comedy when we see all the terrible things going on in the world, but as I get older, I actually think the opposite is true.”“So, the role of something that actually brings a little joy to your life, it’s not just fairly important, it’s crucial, actually.

Labeling the discharge of raw sewage into the UK’s waterways “shocking” and “a disgrace”, Whitehouse adds: “The main protagonist and the villain of the piece here, in many instances, is the policy of the water companies.”
