‘I think what’s happened is someone high up at Amazon has clicked ‘subscribe & save’ on Prime Video and, hey presto, we’re back in business.’

He reflected on the joy the previous season brought to viewers, adding: ‘I’m so pleased people had as much fun watching the first season as we had making it.

Viewers went wild for the show, begging for a season two and hailing it the ‘funniest show in a decade’.

‘Wow!! My head hurts watching this! It really is THAT funny!! #bobmortimer proving again why he’s a national treasure!’;

‘Last one Laughing is without a doubt the funniest thing I’ve ever seen, I genuinely love all ten of them.’ 

There was one moment in particular that made audiences chuckle.

During the final joke showdown, comedians Bob and Richard shared a hilarious interaction.

Bob quipped: ‘I was in the cemetery and I saw a bloke get up from behind a gravestone. “Morning,” I said. “No – just having a s***”.’

The joke was plucked the comic’s book and caused Richard to crack up – meaning Bob walked away as the winner. 

‘What I now realise I’d done was essentially sign up to be in goal and just have someone take penalty after penalty after penalty,’ Richard reflected on the exchange.

‘I had nothing and he was on a horse opposite me with a pocket full of material.’
