Funny Quote by Paul Whitehouse
“If you did something in 'The Fast Show' that didn't work, you could always deliberately undermine it, or chop it into three and run it over a series, but 'Happiness' is a bit more like real life, in that sometimes there are bits that aren't particularly funny, but you just have to hope that a funny bit will be along in a minute.”
