Before That Mitchell and Webb Look, That Mitchell and Webb Sound and even before Peep Show, David Mitchell and Robert Webb had their own sketch series on the now defunct channel Play UK.

The series featured many of Mitchell and Webb's trademark subjects, such as spoofs of make-over shows and other dull forms of TV. This series also co-starred their regular comedy partner Olivia Colman.

Our Review: This series became a cult hit when it was first shown. One reviewer called it, "perhaps the greatest forgotten sketch show of modern times".

The Mitchell and Webb Situation will be of interest to fans of Mitchell and Webb's current comedy output, as the six episodes give viewers a chance to see the duo's early comedy promise, before they became the famous stars they now are.

Whilst some the sketches in this show are a little weak, amongst them are a few fantastic sketches that would happily sit alongside skits in their current show, That Mitchell and Webb Look.
