The Mitchell and Webb Look. - aberdeen-music

I was so disappointed by this.

The hospital drama bit was decent, but the rest was predictable, and totally inexcusable by the brains behind Peep Show.

If you didn't see it this week, don't waste your time with it next week.

the reason for that is that Mitchell and Webb arent the brains behind Peep Show. Ive always find the stuff they write themselves is nowhere near the genius of Peep Show - although a lot of M&W Situation was hilarious, most of it was steamy shite

It was half and half.
The bit with the two homeless men was hilarious.
Peep Show wasn't written by them though so wasn't sure what to expect.
I also preferred Mitchell and Webb Situation as well.

I stand corrected!

Still felt they weren't nearly as convincing in ..Look as they are in other projects.

Can't help but think it would have been better without a laughter track too.

I watched the first half or so and laughed once, don't think i'll bother with it next week.

Did you watch Extras before it? Thought it was funny, liked the Orlando Bloom stuff.

The bit with Barry from Eastenders was great and Keith Chegwin(sp)!

Extras was fucking amazing.

Cheggers was clearly the highlight though.

'Still run by jews and queers is it?'

The man presented swapshop for godsake!

i agree about extras, suberb picked up where the last series left off nicely.

'is the bbc still run by jew and queers?' i'm still howling at that!

so i watched a bit of mitchell and webb since it was on just after and i loved peep show but found meself bored stupid and switched off bout half way through.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Mind you I was nine sheets to the wind at the time.

Angel Summoner and The BMX Bandit deserve a show of their own.

Digby Chicken Caesar and Ginger have made me even more decidedly wary of tramps.

You and me both Del.

'Fannies are for cocks, not arses.'

Is 'You're having a laugh, eh?' the new catchphrase to be heard in bars all around the country from now on?
