Speaking about the show, Harriet told cenemagazine.co.uk: "We’d love to do more. I think it was, because it was us getting married, it was kind of a standalone thing.
"But now that we’ve had the baby, I think that there’s definitely lots to talk about.
"I mean, it was mad, we got the commission six weeks before we got married.
"And so we were planning the wedding, filming and writing. We just looked back at all our past arguments and then we could rehash them and write lines for each other and recreate them.
"In a very roundabout way, I think it was quite a healthy way to deal with this kind of stuff."
In 2023 the couple featured on Channel 4's Jon & Lucy’s Odd Couples.
