‘That is such a hard one. Five years into the show, I used to be able to answer that question pretty well. Now the show has been on for 20 years, so…’ he said, laughing.

Seth went on:  ‘I just have to wrack my brain. We did an episode called And Then There Were Fewer, that was a take on Agatha Christie that I really loved. 

‘It is still one of my favourites because it felt like a movie, but for the most part, yeah, that is a hard one.
