The premise

Here’s the bit.

Leaving a movie early, an awkward couple can't agree on what to do next, until the man suggests visiting a dead body he knows about. The night-time trip into a cornfield turns into easy small talk, but the white-haired criminal responsible for the body later corners him behind the cinema, furious that he broke their sworn secret. He promises to keep quiet, then meets a new woman at the same box office and leads her into the field too, where the criminal is waiting.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Do you want to go see a dead body?

But we swore a blood oath.

I knew it. I knew I couldn't trust you.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The official full-episode upload's rundown calls this sketch "After the Film". Bruce McCulloch's White-Haired Criminal also appears in the season 3 sketch "I've Been Kidnapped".

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
