4 out of 5 stars Take A Look Into Their World   November 13, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

David Mitchell and Robert Webb have had a lot of success as Mark and Jez in Peep Show, but before all that, they were sketch show writers and had a radio show, which this show stems from. David and Rob's funnies soon got the attention of someone at the BBC, and they got their own TV programme.br /br /The show is filled with funny characters, like the snooker commentators who are just pure alcoholics, Sir Digby Chicken Caesar with his crazy stealing and paranoia; the Numberwang quiz where Rob is the host and they just shout out numbers and my favourite - the guys who invite popular celebs and have a good complain about their antics.br /br /A few extras on here, like an interview with the guys, a few bloopers and commentaries - all good for that extra value once you've watched it.br /br /This is good comedy - and the great thing is they don't overdo it, so they won't have like 5 scenes with Sir Digby like some other comedians do. Plus the comedy really shines a chord with me, the funniest moment being David Mitchell's take on snooty waiters - it had me in stitches.br /br /Definitely have a look at this, it's good clean fun which I've enjoyed time and time again.

Sketch shows have a rich British tradition, The Fast Show, Harry Enfield And Chums, dating all the way back to Monty Python. However, first season aside, Little Britain heralded a different brand of sketch show, a lowest-common-denominator, catchphrase-and-gross-out based style. This predictability removes the one thing which made shows like Monty Python in particular great, namely the unpredictability. The whole point of a sketch show isn't to have recurring characters every week, but to just spent a couple of minutes in each little world and then move onto something totally different. That Mitchell And Webb Look restores this balance, reviving sketch shows as they were originally intended.br /br / This is not to say that there aren't recurring characters in That Mitchell And Webb Look. The likes of delusional tramp Sir Digby Chicken Caesar, conman Barry Crisp and spectacularly surreal gameshow Numberwang all have repeat appearances, but crucially have enough material to make it worth seeing each time, with each rendition having a new spin. Also funny are the Extras-style, 'backstage' moments, with Mitchell and Webb playing perverse, childish verisons of themselves to great effect.br /br / In addition to this, each episode is crammed full of one-shot sketches which deliver home-run gangs and then disappear; like the abusive detective on the phone, the man with the telekinetic power over biscuits or the BMX Bandit and the Angel Summoner. Best of all is the saga of Chip And Pin, a hilarious mini-biography of the rise and fall of four stage performers. An original, sharp, witty show that's well worth watching from front to back; and the DVD comes with a bunch of deleted sketches and outtakes which are worth watching, as well as an interesting (and funny) making-of documentary.


4 out of 5 stars This is not Peep Show   June 16, 2008

Peep show is excellent. This isn't Peep Show. br /br /Mitchell and Webb's comedy sketch series is silly. That's the basis of it all, a bunch of downright enjoyable silly sketchs that often (but not always) hit the funny bone like rounds from a minigun. The sketches range from those that appear in just one episode (the amazing BMX Bantit, Mr. Green Claronet) to those which recur (Numberwang, Sir Digby Chicken Sezar). In my view it's the one episode sketches which make this show (Numberwang is just a bit crap really) with exception of Mitchell and Web playing themselves (yeah, it's really just Mark and Jez).br /br /Forget about Peep Show, don't expect this to be Peep Show, be prepaired for some amazingly silly jokes that will make you die with laughter, and you'll have a riot with this DVD (that is unless you don't like silly Jokes, in which case stay away. Honestly they really are silly).

I love peep show and this was such a letdown. It just isnt funny. I now understand that they never actually wrote peep show which explains a lot.br /br /I suppose there's the odd funny thing like numberwang or sir digby chicken caesar but generally the sketches just go on for way too long, dragging out weak material well beyond the point of goodwill.br /br /don't bother.


2 out of 5 stars oh, and this is a 'bad miss'!!   May 27, 2008

I caught an episode of this series when It was shown on TV. I remembered the Chip and Pin sketch, and bought the DVD purely on this. I recently got into Peep Show, and bought series 1-4 and thought I'd add this DVD too. Peep Show is pure class.br /br /In all 6 shows of TMWL, It has to be said that the material is quite poor, and there are only one or two sketches per show that really made me laugh. I liked Sherlock Holmes best, but on the whole, this is weak stuff. They just repeat the same unfunny format. Disappointing...
