- Synopsis:
This video contains all six episodes of David Mitchell and Robert Webb's riotous comedy show, 'The Mitchell and Webb Situation'. Originally made for UKTV's much-missed channel Play UK, the series comprises a fast paced mix of surreal, challenging and quirkily inventive sketches self-penned by the talented duo. Its cult success catapulted the stars into their acting roles in Channel 4's hugely successful - and Bafta-nominated - Peep Show. Their comedy-writing developed as members of the prestigious Cambridge Footlights group (where past performers include Peter Cook, John Cleese and Stephen Fry) and was honed with a series of two-man shows on the Edinburgh Fringe, since which Mitchell and Webb have continued to shell out pure comedy gold. Directed by David Kerr (Cutting It and the star-studded Reeves and Mortimer sketch show, Monkey Trousers), The Mitchell and Webb Situation, also features Peep Show regular Sophie Chapman (Olivia Coleman) and a host of young, British comedy talent. - Actors:
