That Mitchell and Webb Look is a British sketch comedy show hosted by David Mitchell and Robert Webb. It has been broadcast on BBC Two since 2006, with the first two series directed by David Kerr, who also directed Mitchell and Webb's earlier television sketch program The Mitchell and Webb Situation, and the third and fourth series directed by Ben Gosling Fuller. Jesse Armstrong, James Bachman, Sam Bain, Mark Evans, Olivia Colman, Toby Davies, Chris Pell, Jonathan Dryden Taylor, Joel Morris, Jason Hazeley, Simon Kane, John Finnemore, and others are among the writers, in addition to Mitchell and Webb. Gareth Edwards is in charge of the production. Along with Abigail Burdess, Gus Brown, Sarah Hadland, and Paterson Joseph, Colman, Bachman, and Evans were cast members. Many of its characters and gags first appeared on That Mitchell and Webb Sound, the duo's radio show. The first series debuted on September 14, 2006, and a second series was commissioned later that year and aired between February 21 and March 27, 2008. The third season premiered on June 11, 2009. Since season two, the show has also been shown on BBC HD. In 2007, the first series received a BAFTA award. The third series premiered on BBC America on April 14, 2010. The fourth season began on BBC Two and BBC HD on July 13, 2010, with the BBC commissioning a total of six episodes. Webb indicated in a November 2011 interview that there are "no plans, alas, for another series of sketches," adding that "you'd have to contact the BBC" regarding future series.
