That Mitchell And Webb Look - Series 4 Page 8

Or Shoot The Writers?

Or Comedy Nation. There was some great stuff on that.

You're all forgetting a little show called Laughtershock...

I did enjoy the pronunciation sketch though.

Good on the whole - I especially like the Hennimore sketch because it was not that obvious what was going to happen.

I wasn't that keen on the "I don't know what you want anymore" sketch mind.

It was the other way round for me
I Liked the "I don't know what you want anymore" sketch but found Hennimore too long & predictable.

The Caeser one definitely seemed much funnier on radio as well
Overall for me it wasn't quite as good as I'd hoped, but great to see it back nonetheless.

Missed Olivia Colman a bit.

Really? I thought that was extremely obvious.

Has the small woman from Miranda always been in it, or is she new this series?

She has been in it before
And on the radio show

Sarah Haslam is it?

Want another series of Scallywagga, eh? Eh?

I hear good things about a pilot someone called Ben Ricketts is involved with. Whistling nnocently

Well I didn't see it coming.

That new pilot I'm doing with Mitchell and Webb?

I saw most of it coming, but not the cross burning bit.

It's almost impossible for a sketch show to be "different" and "new". There have been so many TV sketch shows over the last 50 years that just about everything is going to have an echo somewhere. Doesn't mean that sketch shows are dead though.

In the 'being nice to baby/horrible to each other' sketch is that Webb's wife playing.....Webb's wife?

I hope she auditioned!

She is actually five foot ten, Miranda is six five and they give her a big mug!

Taller than Mel Gibson, then.

But she will still blow him. He deserves it.
