‘That Mitchell And Webb Look’ is a sketch series starring Robert Web and David Mitchell playing different roles, right from the serious detective roles to the participants of a Math’s quiz game. This sketch series has won the BAFTA award and was an adaptation of the from their series on Radio 4, The Mitchell and Webb Sound. Some of the sketches repeat characters while others appear just once.
Numberwang, one of the recurring sketches, is one of the most difficult math’s quizzes to play. Another one in this category is The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar, which is a story about a drunken tramp, along with his mate Ginger fights crime. There are also two other commentators, Ted and Peter, who look only at the game negative side. Then, there is Raymond Terrific who is doing his best to get some fools to help in finding solutions to biggest problems of the world in Big Talk. Similar to their 2001 sketch show, there are a few sketches which deal with the mind boggling tastelessness of television.
Some of the episodes will also feature the story behind the camera, where both comedians are the commentators. The fourth season will telecast The Quiz Broadcast and Get Me Hennimore, and also a series of new sketches. The sketches will comprise of the last set of mysteries solved by Sherlock Holmes along with his friend Watson, Mr. Martin Everclear, the world’s worst orator and also a cat- based snack for the kids.
All in all, the comedy series have been well appreciated by one and all. The first series was a big success (not to mention that, but the DVD Packaging created quite a stir as well). The next series, though, was not welcomed with as much enthusiasm for the simple reason that most of the jokes of the first series were re-telecasted in the second one. The third was also equally appreciated. And now, the fourth series is eagerly awaited.
