Mitchell And Webb Return With First Sketch Series in 15 Years on Channel 4

Channel 4 backed the duo following a long lull in UK sketch commissioning.

Overview

  • David Mitchell and Robert Webb have reunited for Mitchell And Webb Are Not Helping, their first new sketch show since the late 2000s.
  • The series debuts on Channel 4 on Friday, September 5 at 10pm.
  • An ensemble of rising comedians joins the pair, including Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Lara Ricote, Stevie Martin and Krystal Evans, with production by That Mitchell & Webb Company and Big Talk Studios.
  • Sketches satirize recent media and streaming trends, including a piece riffing on Emily Maitlis’s 2019 Prince Andrew interview and its dramatizations.
  • The duo launched the show at a BFI Southbank red-carpet event and said there are no current plans for a Peep Show special.
