Mitchell & Webb Special Effects
As the producer of That Mitchell and Webb Look I've had a lot of make-believe questions about the special effects we use. Here are the ones I've decided I hear most often.
Gareth Edwards, BBC Comedy, 28th July 2010That Mitchell & Webb Look episode 4.1 review
This opener for the fourth series was underwhelming, and it irritated me that David Mitchell and Robert Webb have chosen to stick with the Get Me Hennimore and Remain Indoors sketches, which both ran out of steam halfway through series 3. Still, as usual, Mitchell & Webb's work never patronizes its audience and doesn't rely on recycling jokes and catchphrases, so for that I'm grateful and will still be tuning in.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 14th July 2010That Mitchell & Webb Look review
This new series won't disappoint fans but it's hardly likely to attract a new audience who have become suspicious of the sketch show as a genre following its sophisticated deconstruction in Chris Morris' Jam and Channel 4's Green Wing.
Jamie Steiner, On The Box, 13th July 2010That Mitchell & Webb Look Returns
The excellent Mitchell & Webb return tonight on BBC Two at 9pm. Gareth Edwards, the producer of the show, gives an insight into just how unique the filming is.
Matt Callanan, BBC Comedy, 13th July 2010That Mitchell & Webb Look 3.1 Review
With the proviso that first episodes of sketch shows are intentionally the strongest to lure audiences in, I found this opener solidly written and very funny for the most part. There were only a few obvious duds, with most of the sketches hitting their marks and a handful eliciting big laughs.
