PRESENTING ON DVD THE FIRST COMEDY SHOW FROM THE STARS OF CHANNEL 4’S PEEP SHOW “THE MITCHELL AND WEBB SITUATION”S P E C I A L F E A T U R E SNew exclusive audio commentary (episode 1) by Mitchell and WebbNew video interview with Mitchell and Webb (in a park) Out-takesDavid Mitchell and Robert Webb's riotous comedy show, The Mitchell and Webb Situation, gushes forth an hilarious stream of surreal and quirkily inventive sketches self-penned by the talented duo. Originally made for the BBC’s short-lived UK Play channel, its cult success catapulted the stars into their acting roles in Channel 4's hugely successful – and Bafta-nominated – Peep Show.With their comedy-writing developed as members of the prestigious Cambridge Footlights group (where past performers include Peter Cook, John Cleese and Stephen Fry), and honed with a series of two-man shows on the Edinburgh Fringe, Mitchell and Webb have continued to shell out pure comedy gold.
Directed by David Kerr (Cutting It and the star-studded Reeves and Mortimer sketch show, Monkey Trousers), The Mitchell and Webb Situation, also features Peep Show regular Sophie Chapman (Olivia Coleman) and a host of young, British comedy talent. Eureka Entertainment is proud to present the DVD premiere of The Mitchell and Webb Situation, finally releasing the first six-part series from its exclusive UK Play transmission. As David Mitchell himself said: "I’m more proud of the way it turned out than annoyed that it was only aired on a small channel."
After writing Bruiser alongside Ricky Gervais (The Office, Extras), the pair are set to return to the sketch show format in 2006 bringing their critically-acclaimed BBC Radio 4 show, That Mitchell and Webb Sound, to BBC2.Mitchell And Webb DVD
