Has anyone been watching That Mitchell and Webb Look on BBC2 I think? Same guys that did the peep show. It's one of those shows where some of the sketches aren't that funny, but between them there are some hilarious ones. There're a few on YouTube. What do you guys think?

"And as you may know from school, the number 2 is deadly to humans"


Heh, I love that show. Have you seen their doing a film too? Google "Magicians" and you should find it somewhere.


"Today we have Julie from Anglesey and Simon from Anglesey"

Well, I finally decided to create a website that really reflects what kind of programmer I really are: OneManBand software: http://www.ombsoft.com

It's a bit hit and miss, but when it hits, it feels fresh, unlike all the other sketch shows.

Like with "The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar". Just reading the synopsis makes it funny...

Quote: "Sir Digby (Webb) and his sidekick Ginger (Mitchell) believe that they are a pair of detectives in the style of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson when in fact they are drunken tramps. They are so poor that they have to hum their own theme tune (Devil's Gallop), which is usually sung as the intrepid duo are escaping from a crime scene, and regularly fight each other for loose change."

hehe. I'd not seen the Green Clarinet sketch, but that was pretty funny. Also the BMX Biker and Angel one ain't too bad. The only one that doesnt work for me at all is the Snooker Comentator one. I suppose it's a piss take out of the dreary chat you always hear during the snooker, but I still dont get it.
