FTA-TV Back (The new David Mitchell/Robert Webb comedy series)

[Plugger35]

With their new show called Back.




The basic premise - David Mitchell plays the son of a pub owner who has just died and inherits the pub, Robert Webb plays one of his short term foster brothers who considers himself a part of the family but David Mitchell can't remember him from his hundreds of other foster brothers.

It's kind of the same dynamic as Peep Show with David Mitchell playing the uptight straight laced character and Robert Webb playing the loose happy go lucky character that pushes David's buttons and drives him mad.

I saw the first episode on Thursday night on the ABC and it looks like another winner to me, maybe not quite as funny as Peep Show but not far off.

It provided a fair few laughs which any show with Mitchell and Webb is guaranteed, I would rate them as the best UK comedy duo of the 21st century.

The Mitchell and Webb Look also produced some of the finest comedy sketches I've seen.

None finer than this.

Watched the first 2 eps. Very good.

Has a Peep Show feel with forty year olds. Some very good lines.

Absolute ****ing GOAT sketch show. Still say "Oh and that's a bad miss" everytime I **** up in pool. Which is a lot.

That's numberwang!

I've enjoyed the first two eps so far, not riotously funny but never unfunny.

Well Back is back with the long awaited second series, they say that good things come to those who wait and this is well worth the wait.




They are showing the second series on the ABC on Tuesday nights and also on iview along with the first series so you have no excuses not to watch it.

If you consider yourself a fan of British comedy this is must watch tv.
