Very sad that she has passed away at the age of 52. Thanks for all the laughs, Caroline. RIP.

What a rare talent Caroline was. As Mrs. Merton she was so disarming yet her questions took no prisoners! Left us far too early & missed by many.

She is simply brilliant

Martin looks great here ! Love Caroline one of our Greatest talents.. Gone too soon

Joanna Lumleys smile makes me melt .

That may well be the best interview program I've ever seen. Martin Clunes has the opportunity to show just how clever he really is when answering these ridiculously funny questions. Wish I'd been able to see the whole series.

What a delight to see an interview with Martin so young.

Mrs Merton. Quite possibly the best 'roaster' who ever lived.

Happy memories from when TV comedy shows were actually good. She was pure genius!

fair play to martin he handled merton brilliantly

Caroline aherne was a beautiful soul. Rest in peace

"What's acting like? Is it as easy as it looks?" LOL! LEGEND!

May Caroline's soul fly high with the angels 💕💕🙏 and make them laugh which she will X❤️❤️

Why can't we all get on like we did here?

Wonderful stuff. Martin Clunes never stood a chance against Mrs. Merton!

He is so handsome wow

She's a hoot! Thanks for posting this, I'd never seen this before - he's terribly sweet and such a flirt :D

this was a wonderful programme.

It does have huge, prominent ears😂😍👂👂Perfect for playing Doc Martin!!

This was amazing!

Three classic thespians. RIP Caroline Aherne 🙂.

Magic.

he is so sweet.....

Caroline loves playing it on the edge. Top toeing along the cliff edge.

Caroline Mary Aherne 24 December 1963 - 2 July 2016

An IQ of 176 & so talented! Aherne wrote & acted in many great comedy shows; we were robbed by her too early death, but lucky to have her at all, RIP RIG 💜 x *For those who need it explaining: The TV audience being older is part of the joke...

Mrs Merton was a one woman roast mistress!

Farewell funny and talented lady.......R.I.P.

RIP the former Mrs Hook

such a shame. so good. we were lucky to have her

This show was recorded in 1997.

I know the host is only pretending to be an older person, but Martin is only 35 about to turn 36 here I wonder where all the younger people are, amazing how Martin is pleasant to any audience. Martin said once in an interview that all sorts of people liked MBB.. He was really irresistable here, no wonder his wife said yes when he asked her to marry him that year. My favorite interview is in 2009, Digital Spy, one on one interview, green room, he is on a sofa talking about series 4. Gorgeous

Every time i look at this video i love him more ,sorry.......from across the pond...............

RIP honey

Joanna Lumley.... oh be still my beating heart!

I think Mr merton just awakened something within me

comic genius RIP :-(

does anyone remember a series martin did called De mob it has just been released on dvd ,it ran for just 6 episodes in 1993 . iv never seen it.

It's fun, vocal sparring without being offended. If you're British and don't get this, you've no hope.

Humour is nearly dead in 2019 in the mainstream

Did they pack the audience with old people to add to the illusion that Caroline is elderly, or did her character actually attract the aged?

It's interesting seeing Martin Clunes and Joanna Lumley together, he played a man behaving badly and she played a woman behaving badly.

The Doc with a bob..... Very strange

Quite a change in his hair style between 2011 and 2018.

It looks like Martin was playing himself as Gary all along. Albeit probably less Stella etc

He probably just said Joanne was he's favourite actress as she was sitting right next to him

Martin Clunes has aged well.

at 5.55 is that a tattoo on Johanna jumleys leg ?

When was this interview? Martin Clunes in those days was a bad boy. Sniffing cocaine for breakfast and drunk every night, according to his first wife Lucy Aston and by his own admission. He also started an affair with Phillipa, and married her soon after his divorce.

Katie Hopkins has put on the timber

Kipper the Dog

That 80's hair is hilarious. Doc Martin, is that really you?

Martin Clunes jung zu sehen ist schön Ich wusste nicht das er so beliebt ist so freundlich u Humorvoll .Bei uns in Deutschland sieht man leider nicht viel von ihm.Und wenn ,dann kommt der Film Dok Martin mitten in der Nacht.Und der ganze Schrott den man ständig wiederholt zur normaler Zeit Sehr schade .

Martin being 100x funnier than Reeves & Mortimer.

Did she set a minimum age for her live audiences ?? It looks like it.

yikes, harry styles let himself go

Joanna Lumley was odd

Wonder if Lumley and Clunes got down and dirty

Good old British humour is dead today! killed by political correctness! Apart from the odd exception, comedy and TV in general has been sterile & phony since 2000 onwards. celeb this, reality crap that, Xfactor or love island? ugh! just effing ugh!! what bland, soulless times we live in today.

He's a right weirdo
