Yes, it's an excellent comedy, isn't it? But then, anything by Andy Hamilton does tend to be.

Apparently the writers don't write lines for the children, but just whisper suggestions in their ears. So the children improvise and the adult actors have to react to whatever comes out of their mouths. Then they throw most of the improvisation away and just keep the good bits ;
