[@liamjd1]

I'm just imagining a peep show style monologue inside of his head...

[@salcasm]

I've never been fond of men's short-sleeved business shirts. Until now.

[@himynameisben95]

These questions are quite good for a midmorning interview and an audience possibly not already intimately familiar with Mitchell. It's very professional; I don't see what all the complaints are for.

[@Lucifronz]

Neither do I. Not to mention the projections people are casting on David like "this was so clearly painful" as if David was suffering from being asked interview questions from a fucking morning show host.
Most morning show hosts aren't exciting. Who wants excitement when they just fucking woke up, anyway? Not me. I want a bowl of cereal and closed blinds.

1:56 This is such a cute photo of them!

[@DendyJungle]

i love how proper and snobbish david appears but at the same time peep show is one filthy program

[@chrisarrell]

Thanks for posting!.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

you can tell he studied history by the way he talks about that comment about 60's vs present day comedy

[@PhiI93]

Oh well, that's all ancient history now!

[@kaimarmalade9660]

Is the lady the same one that plays Mark's mom at the Christmas party? The, "that's very cheeky Hans" scene comes to mind.

[@mark9294]

Exactly, that’s what I thought

[@CorellianSmuggler]

It will make Steven Fry's terrible but inevitable passing easier to deal with, knowing that David Mitchell's still about.

[@yellowknots]

You are indeed right. Love all those shows so much!

[@Izaak247]

Legend

[@glebber8709]

peep show is back!!!!
woooohooooo!

[@katewhiteside]

Just goes to show you can never be too careful!

[@SiriusMined]

Thanks for posting this. There seems to be a bit more, do you have it?

[@suesheification]

I was intimidated by his earring...lol

[@esloan5586]

does anyone know if there is a peep show series 9 coming out soon or if it even exists???

[@DendyJungle]

Elleni Sloan yes. its out. how did u like it?

[@mark9294]

Isn’t the female host the actress who plays David’s mum

[@SoylentGreeeen]

Webb makes an attractive women.

[@QueenDeaconite]

I don't think he did, I think he just gave the example of the Holmes and Watson sketch and the one shown just happened to be another detective sketch.

[@el6178]

From 1995 to 2005 was the best comedies ever made. I m not a John Cleese fan. I miss Gimme Gimme, Father Ted, Peep show, Black Books.

[@DuchessOfStratosphere]

peter cook over john cleese any day

[@DarkTsubasa]

He looks so uncomfortable, but still so adorable

[@deliriumdoll]

Love that those two idiots try and get him to spit out a nasty soundbite about John Cleese and David sees right through it, plus sort of explains to them gently why they are being naughty. Class act.

[@GauntV]

love this guy, i love his love for john cleese, i love peep show, i love their sketches, i love his panel show comedy... fuck it im gay.

[@GarthMarenghiMD]

Holy Shit!! David Mitchel looks like and acts like my History teacher and he did History at Uni? wow

[@tobylerone007]

Man crush slowly developing...

[@t4ky0n]

fully developed yep?

[@timmybus21]

he may always be doing posh spazzy things, but I love him

[@randomsamno9]

I find it funny that the line "what the hell is going on here!" probably wouldn't make it on US daytime tv because americans think 'hell' is a swear word.

[@provenelk]

He reminds me of Stephen Fry so much

[@lyadmilo]

Soooo you're an American (or whatever) comedic genius? Glad to see you think so highly of yourself.

[@rockstarrist]

David Mitchell is the British version of me. He is a comedic genius.

[@davepoo1291]

And, comedy

[@Lisanab]

Poor David. This was so clearly painful

[@MajorYum]

I don't fancy David Mitchell, I just find him funny.

[@ultrapersonthing]

Monty Python was funny, and I imagine a lot of stuff from M and W were influenced by it.

[@sussussussus]

Wow! Are morning news interviewers always so uptight in the UK? That was so hard to watch! I bet that was super awkward for him.

[@guzzaroolz]

Is it too much of a stretch to say Mitchell has the finest mind of any comedian on the planet? I don't think it is.

[@Curleyhaz97]

I don't know why but i strangly find him attractive, i like geeks :') x

[@TitParty]

Mitchell and Webb are almost like Monty Python. But funny.

[@IrritationCharles]

All I seem to get on David Mitchell videos is "He's so hot".

[@MutantMushroom]

How comes he didn't pull out a machete and hack Fern and Phil into tiny little pieces for such dull interview questions? You can tell he is thinking about it.

[@DendyJungle]

Mutant Mushroom its not just her. he is a bit nervous too. Nowadays he could make boring questions funny because he is so confident

[@bandname]

@@DendyJungle And he's come out gay now.

[@randomsamno9]

Tell that to my friend who was given a lecture in the US for saying that word out loud. I admit it's considered a fairly mild one though, only really omitted from kids shows. I don't know why I made this comment really, must have been drunk or just witnessed some right wing US nut on TV creating some anti-american feelings in me at the time.

[@TD9497]

common filth

[@HHGFHJGFHJGFJTYFJDGY]

They're just like Mark and Jeremy!!

[@Lexicondiablo]

How not to interview David Mitchell. What a dreadful interview. 'How hard do you work?'

[@Dmdm_dm]

Why are most English tv presenters so weird looking? And what's up with the kitsch-colored studios?
