9.00pm Extras Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom guest stars in a new series of the comedy by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Background artist Andy Millman finally gets his big break and prepares to make his own sitcom for the BBC, but soon learns the Corporation has very different ideas (888) (Stereo)

9.30pm That Mitchell and Webb Look New comedy sketch series, with Robert Webb and David Mitchell, featuring a group of anxious Nazis, easily distracted snooker commentators, and unsuccessful crime-fighting duo Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit. Also starring Olivia Colman, James Bachman, Paterson Joseph, Mark Evans and Abigail Burdess (888) (Stereo)


A new sketch show from Peep Show duo Robert Webb and David Mitchell follows - might be good. Might be shite, though

The first series was cool, not as good as the office (blahblah i know) but still good. Good rewatching value too, I found I liked it most after id seen them a few times on dvd.

Seen a clip of Harry Potter in the new ones that was pretty funny

[ONEDUNME]

Yeah, for anyone who hasn't watched it because they didn't like "The Office" don't be put off. The guest stars make it as they all either send up themselves or the characters that they're best known for.

That mitchell and webb sketch show should be good, peep show was really good and ive seen some good reviews for this.

Extras was really funny, nothing will ever top The Office re watched all of the office about 5 times in the last week and definitiely the best program ive ever seen. Alan Partrdige gives you more laughs but office was better all round.

Mock of the day will probably be shite, bunch of people trying there uptmost hardest to be dead funny, sounds great.

[mrmuzeman]

Extras was awesome I thought

[christianu]

hate this laughter track on mitchell and webb

[christianu]

There were some funny bits in mitchell and webb but the laughter track completley spoiled it. The Daily Mirror said there was not one bad sketch?? what???

[Beanie]

Complete mixed bag - some really nice sketches which had me belly laughing...some pitifully obvious jokes which I think they're hoping people read a lot more into but that just came across as crap. Anyway, as I say I laughed at bits of it so could be something in it if they develop a few of the characters/parodies and I'll be watching next week.

I'd agree re: the laughter chris - even seemed out of time/missed bits out at times.

[christianu]

It reminded me a bit of what extras was about, like they were dumming down the show to fit the public a bit more.

I was laughing out loud a few times.

Extras was really good too.

Yep Bloom was priceless with his bitching about Depp and i'm sure many thespians would like to feature on this series.

[ONEDUNME]

Finally got around to watching it and thought it to be OK but nothing more.

As with the last series it's the guests that determine whether it's funny or not. That fat bald bloke out of Eastenders who's supposed to be hard was absolutely hilarious for example.
