Comedy duo Armstrong and Miller took time out from rehearsals to meet their fans in Oxford.

BBC stars Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller signed books and posed for photographs at Waterstones Bookshop, in Broad Street, on Friday afternoon prior to performing at the New Theatre as part of their nationwide tour.

Store spokesman Liam Arbuthnot said the duo were “charming”.

He said: “We had a large number of people turn up. They were both incredibly nice and spent time with everyone who headed along.

“They come across well on television and also in person."
