That Look 3 : Warm Up 1

Thursday, July 17th, 2008


The first of two planneed Try Out sessions for new That Mitchell And Webb Look 3 material took place at The Drill Hall on Sunday. I was in France so I sent a spy to find out more and acquired these random phrases and facts …

Olivia Colman was not there (!!!) but Sarah Hadland (from Look 2, Peep Show, Magicians) was. James Bachman was of course present.

Simon Kane wrote a sketch involving the smell of trees. I am confused.

A sketch written by Toby Davies and Chris Pell involving toy trains.

Police Man versus Community Support Officer, in a couple of sketches.

A superhero whose ocncept is linked with animal genitalia for some reason.

Roberr playing Santa Claus’ brother Russ.

A sketch about things not being rocket science or brain surgery, which wasn’t found to be very funny.

David as Captain Todger in a few sketches. Oh dear.

A few of those Behind The Scenes sketches like in previous series.

Remember folks, these ideas were the ‘try out’ ones and were judged as ‘maybe’s for the television series so if they sound a bit peculiar it’s because they probably were. The second Try Out evening is next month.

Zoom future not fab.

Meanwhile, in other news, the buffoons at Radio 4 turned down James Bachman and Mark Evans’ comedy pilot Zoom. The bastards.

Item! David Mitchell is part of the panel on Question Time tonight (Thursday 3rd July for all you time travellers). This should be interesting as he loves to talk and could easily entertain the entire studio by rambling on about anything and everything.

Item! Robert Webb is still in Fat Pig, and will be until 6th September.

Item! Both Mitchell and Webb are warming up for series 3 of That Mitchell And Webb Look at The Drill Hall Theatre on 13th July and 10th August, which happen to be Sundays. Ticket applications self destructed almost as soon as they went online this week so anyone going should feel very lucky (and a little bit smug).

No Head
Item! James Bachman is currently appearing in Sorry I’ve Got No Head on CBBC on Fridays with other funny people that you might recognise from other stuff. Watch it on iPlayer or wait for normal telly time to see what I mean. Facebook Fan Page here!
