- Take A Look Into Their World
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.

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.

A few extras on here, like an interview with the guys, a few bloopers and commentaries - all ... Read More:

- Excellent.
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.

This is not to say that there ... Read More:

- This is not Peep Show
Peep show is excellent. This isn't Peep Show.

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).

Forget about Peep Show, don't expect this to be Peep Show, be prepaired for some amazingly silly jokes that will make you die ... Read More:

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.

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.

don't bother.

- oh, and this is a 'bad miss'!!
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.

In all 6 shows of TM&WL, 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...
