The Fast Show star co-wrote and starred alongside Langham in the BBC drama Help, the jury at Maidstone Crown Court was told on Tuesday. Mr Whitehouse played a range of different patients seen by a psychiatrist played by Langham.

Langham's defence counsel has claimed he downloaded child pornography images for research purposes while writing Help.

Prosecutor Richard Barraclough QC asked Mr Whitehouse: "Did Mr Langham ever discuss with you that he was undertaking any research for the shows?"

"Not to my knowledge, no," Mr Whitehouse replied.

Langham, 58, denies 15 counts of making an indecent photograph of a child between September and November 2005.

Langham, of Golford, near Cranbrook, Kent, is also charged with 10 counts of indecent assault and two counts of buggery between January 1996 and April 2000.

A 25-year-old woman claims he took her virginity when she was 14.

He denies all the charges.
