Welcome to the Pretend Room, a place where Mitchell and Webb get to discuss the making of some of their funniest sketches.
Curated by: Mitchell and Webb (18 videos)
David Mitchell and Robert Webb revisit their E.M. Forster sketches in another unpredictable episode of Pretend Room. What begins as a conversation about Forster quickly spirals into Carry On films, favorite adaptations of A Room with a View and Maurice, the reality of writing comedy, unbearably warm Edwardian clothing, Scott of the Antarctic and the surprisingly long life of the phrase “don’t touch that dial.” Along the way, Mitchell and Webb share memories from filming, debate whether writing is really that difficult and repeatedly attempt to finish the video without getting distracted again. #BigTalkStudios #MitchellandWebb #PretendRoom #comedypodcast Don't miss a video!

Expect wild tangents, unnecessary analysis, and the kind of commentary that’s only slightly more helpful than the show itself.
