That Mitchell And Webb Look - Series 4 Page 9

But she will still blow him. He deserves it.

Only if she smiles first.

Now we know.

Laughing out loud

Going to mostly echo what others are saying. Laboratoire Garnier was good, and The Event still makes me laugh; but Caesar worked better on the radio, Hennimore took for bleeding ever, and the rest took obvious ideas and did nothing very unexpected with them, the crass sign language sketch being perhaps the worst offender.

I'm a massive fan of Mitchell & Webb but will admit that this opener was a bit weaker than some of the episodes in previous series (like the angry parents - not much comedy in that). That said, still much to enjoy.

As has already been pointed Laboratoire Garnier sketch was brilliant though.

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

The link to the guide is at the top of the thread ;) Anyway, yes, Sarah Hadland has been in it since Series 2. She does a lot of stuff with the Mitchell & Webb group of writers... Bleak Expectations for example. In my opinion she's one of the best comedy actresses this country has ever seen - she has an absolutely amazing range!

According to the BCG press clippings, the critics seemed, on the whole, to like it.

How long have you used this site??

Thought the Titanic sketch on the red button, which was presumably deleted material, was actually better than most of the sketches that made the final cut.

According to one of the reviews the woman in the show who is not Sarah Hadland is Rober tWebb's real life old lady. I hadn't realised that.

How long was the red button stuff up? Only I watched Shooting Stars straight after and forgot about it.

She looks the tiniest bit like David Mitchell. (in a pretty, and feminine way).

They were on Mr and Mrs together. They did well.
