Countdown: Now we know!
I had foolishly thought that some of the press had actually been given tapes of TMAWL but I was a fool! They just glanced at the latest press release which I tracked down online and transcribed from the PDF:
The series is peopled with strange characters, including the old-school waiter (“How dare you ask to see the wine list, you aren’t even wearing a tie!”) ; the alcoholic snooker commentators (“A difficult pot this, let’s hope he’s not distracted by the thought of a beautiful pint of cooling lager”) ; and the anxious Nazis (“Erich, do you think we’re the baddies?”).
Based on the hugely successful Sony Silver Award-winning Radio 4 show That Mitchell And Webb Sound, the series features a strong supporting cast including Olivia Colman (Green Wing, Look Around You), James Bachman (Hyperdrive) and Paterson Joseph (Peep Show). It is written by Mitchell and Webb and award-winning writers John Finnemore (Dead Ringers), Sam Bain (Peep Show) and Jesse Armstrong (The Thick Of It).
