Essman looks at how well political humour travels

Susie Essman reckons the British audiences are a "little smarter" than back home in the US, when she spoke about how well political humour travels.

The comedian and Curb Your Enthusiasm spoke about British faces fronting American programmes, and the lack of women presenting late-night chat shows.

Diane Abbott and Michael Portillo joined in to look at whether things can get lost in translation, and if comedy really crosses the Atlantic.
