A series of hilarious and witty sketches, with Robert Webb and David Mitchell showing the full extent of their comedic brilliance. There are some sketches that don’t quite land, or are brought back too often that they get repetitive but a good 90% of the series is brilliant stuff. For example the ‘old lady job assesment’ sketches come up far too often and aren’t even funny so that did grate somewhat. Some of the sketches are earlier drafts of what would be seen on screen in That Mitchell And Webb Look, so do feel slightly less tight but still entertain. My personal favourite sketches are Colin & Ray constantly bickering, delusional tramp, Sir Digby Chicken Caesar, and Ted & Mike the snooker commentators. Olivia Coleman and James Bachman play a range of characters who support Webb and Mitchell perfectly, giving life to all the different characters.
