That Mitchell And Webb Sound Ep 1/6 Tuesday 25 August 6.30-7.00pm BBC RADIO 4

David Mitchell and Robert Webb return with more off-beat sketches combining their trademark silliness and intelligence.

Running sketches in this series include: The Old Lady Hearings, in which everyone has to explain what they do to a panel of old ladies who then decide if it’s a proper job or not; and a very ordinary office that just happens to have among its office equipment a portal to another universe – if only the staff would use it responsibly and not just nip through it for a crafty fag.

One-off sketches include: an exciting new quiz game, Metal Or Normal, in which contestants say if something is metal or just, well, normal; the invention of the ampersand; a charity for ghosts; a new reality TV show, Make Me A Celebrity Centaur, that uses some controversial horse-grafting technology; and a very unusual interview about how to count whales.

David and Robert are joined by James Bachman, Olivia Colman and Sarah Hadland, and this series features material by the duo along with Mark Evans, Toby Davies, Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, to name but a few.

Producer/Gareth Edwards
