Snuff Box (or Berry & Fulcher's Snuff Box) is a BBC Three comedy starring and written by Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher. It first aired on Monday 27th February 2006. Berry plays a hangman ("High Executioner to the King of England"), and Fulcher his American assistant.
Both actors unusually use their real names as their character names, but also play other minor roles throughout the programme. Its format consists of a running storyline, albeit surreal, from episode to episode, interspersed with sketch show sequences.
Berry and Fulcher met whilst working together on another BBC Three comedy, The Mighty Boosh.
Common themes include:
- Matt and Rich hanging a man, whilst making light hearted conversation.
- Music composers meeting a famous rock legend (including David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix), with Rich's character unaware of their identity.
- Matt chatting up an attractive woman, and upon finding out she has a boyfriend, casually yet directly stating "Fuck you" and dropping (such as a tray of drinks) or breaking whatever the woman was holding.
- Rich travelling back in time to 1888 and meeting Matt's great-great-uncle who showers him with prostitutes.
- Matt entering a boutique and ending up being beaten by a series of attendants.
