David Mitchell and Robert Webb star in this new comedy-drama from Peep Show co-writer Simon Blackwell. Mitchell is put-upon Stephen, stepping uneasily into the shoes of his universally liked dead father, while Webb is Andrew, Stephen's one-time foster brother, returning after 30 years with a portfolio of lived experience and effortless charm. With a dark undercurrent beneath its cosy surface, Back could easily become a modern Ever Decreasing Circles.

TV preview: Back, C4

Let's be crystal clear about this. Back is not Peep Show - What Happened Next? David Mitchell plays a feckless, inept man-child and Robert Webb plays a hopeless charmer who can't help cocking up and landing on his feet, but that's where the similarity ends. Almost.
