Robert Webb

Who said it? PG Wodehouse's Wooster or Peep Show's Jez?

As Robert Webb prepares to take over in the West End comedy Perfect Nonsense, based on the works of PG Wodehouse, can you guess which of these lines belong to Bertie Wooster and which were spoken by Peep Show's Jeremy?

Green Wing and Peep Show stars will replace Stephen Mangan and Matthew Macfadyen in Perfect Nonsense from April.

David Mitchell and Robert Webb have lost none of their comedy momentum: the series continues as energetically as it started last week. This time, the running sketch is Mitchell as the "Radio 4 sommelier", with suggestions for a wine that will augment the most laughs in each section of the show. The most unexpected hilarity comes in a scene set in a tavern close to Count Dracula's castle where the endless list of vampire lore - ward them off with water, crucifixes, garlic etc - is given a very funny new twist.

A final word of praise for the wonderful Olivia Colman, whose skills as a comedy actress are put to good use.

Robert Webb: Why Tristram Hunt didn't cut it as a comic

Tristram Hunt, the shadow education secretary, was not 'reliably funny' during his days performing in the Footlights at Cambridge according to his co-star Robert Webb.

Comedians in politics: An open letter

Rupert, you hobble yourself from the outset by challenging something which no one is proposing: giving Steve Coogan a job outside of the Alan Partridge series. No one is saying that, not me, not you, not David Mitchell, not Russell Brand, not Robert Webb.

In its second episode, Ambassadors (BBC Two) really started to motor.

The script for BBC Two's Ambassadors manages to make David Mitchell and Robert Webb significantly less funny than they are in real life, says Andrew Pettie.

Mitchell and Webb's diplomatic comedy drama goes out with a bang as revolting Tazbeks tangle with presidential armed forces.

British ambassador Keith Davis (David Mitchell) is whimpering on the neutral sidelines but luckily for the oppressed locals, wife Jennifer (Keeley Hawes) has enough empathy to make up for her husband and does what she can to rally support for the humanitarian cause.

As for deputy Neil Tilly (Robert Webb), he's got his hands full with a fierce Foreign Office interrogation specialist on a mission to ferret out spies in high places.

A flinty government vetting officer turns up at the British Embassy in Tazbekistan. He's so tough he walked from the airport 15 miles away and is barely perturbed by the fact that the country is in the grip of revolution.

As the power fails and shots ring through the night air, British ambassador Keith Davis and his deputy Neil Tilly (David Mitchell and Robert Webb) have to think on their feet. Someone has to suck up to the president's monstrous daughter, a primped, plastic surgery-obsessed brute with her own wine label; while Keith has to make peace with the insurgents, though they are late for a rendezvous: "You can't expect punctuality from rebels," he says with true British grit. "They are rebels, aren't they?"

It's been an engaging series; I hope it returns.
