Mitchell and Webb

The following year, the short-lived Play UK channel invited them to write their own sketch show, The Mitchell and Webb Situation.

Hartswood Films recorded the pilot episode on 20 December, with a view to producing a full series for BBC Two.

[citation needed] Mitchell and Webb collaborated with Armstrong and Miller again for the 2009 Red Nose Day fundraising event.

They co-wrote and starred in two short sketches incorporating Armstrong and Miller's World War II airmen characters from The Armstrong and Miller Show and their characters Sir Digby and Ginger from their radio show That Mitchell and Webb Sound.

[6] They also voiced a pair of peas on the Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway sponsorship TV adverts for Bird's Eye.
