Mitchell worries Webb will show him up at wedding

David Mitchell admits he is fearing the worst at his upcoming wedding - as his Peep Show co-star Robert Webb unleashes his Best Man's speech.

David Mitchell and Robert Webb interview

'We couldn't write a sitcom while Peep Show was still on'.

Robert Webb returns in specs and cardie as inept geology lecturer Dan, who this week masterminds a disastrous field trip to the Pennines. Back in so-called civilisation, Josie has been expelled from her course following last week's wince-inducing dentistry class and hatches a grisly plan to win back her place. Oregon cross-examines the man of her dreams, convinced he must have a flaw, while Howard is still trying to woo Sabine with all the subtlety of a steam train.

So far series two hasn't put a foot wrong - although JP does, and gets up close and personal with Mother Nature.

More tertiary education tomfoolery, with Kingsley at war with tutor Dan (Robert Webb) over the latter's sedimentary-rock-shaped knowledge gap. Cue an awkward field trip to the Pennines, where Howard's lust for Sabine and JP's thirst for adventure leave each stuck between a rock and a hard place (one metaphorically, one literally). Back home, Josie reckons she's discovered a fix for her entire future. Providing Heather doesn't mind taking a tiny risk, that is.

David Mitchell has a bad back. To ease the discomfort, he walks, one hour every day. The funnyman, best known for the Channel 4 series Peep Show and as one half of Mitchell and Webb, has been stepping out for medical purposes since 2007.

Robert Webb - I was probably a bit ghastly as a fresher

"At Cambridge I oozed with the studied vulnerability of a young man who thinks he is about due a massive amount of (safe!) sex. I'm delighted to say that it worked"

Threesome review: Series 2, episode 1

Threesome, everyone's favourite Ménage à trois-based comedy is back, with a whole sack of one-liners, a bed-full (three, appropriately) of top class guest stars in the shape of Bill Bailey, Robert Webb and Joe Thomas, and a first episode that delivers laughs, even if it did leave the plot and characterisation at the sorting office.

Chris Morris's scathing satire Brass Eye, Jessica Hynes and Simon Pegg's brilliantly offbeat Spaced, Victoria Pile's gloriously surreal Green Wing - Channel 4, it's fair to say, has reeled out a number of memorable comedies since it launched in 1982. Part of C4's Funny Fortnight, this lively two-hour programme counts down its top 30, as voted for by readers of the station's website. "Rude, radical, and irreverent, over the last 30 years Channel 4 comedy has taken us on one hell of a ride," intones the narrator, with no shortage of hyperbole. Though the tone, of course, is self-congratulatory, there's still plenty to enjoy here, not least the terrific archived footage, which reminds you why these show's have such an enduring appeal. Interspersed with these clips are hilarious insights from an impressive array of talking heads: among them, Tamsin Greig, Sally Phillips, Al Murray, Charlie Higson, David Mitchell, Robert Webb, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes, who says about Spaced: "When I think about all the things I've done, that was the most intense, the most fun, the thing I'm most proud of." One caveat: how did a show as derivative as Star Stories make it on to the list?
