David Mitchell and Robert Webb’s show continues, with sketches including Mr Darcy at a freestyle disco, a carnivorous man at a vegetarian dinner party and a new adventure with drunken sleuth Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar. Plus, a best man is unnecessarily honest, and the duo have an awkward meeting with the Queen.

David Mitchell and Robert Webb are back with a second series of their distinctively daft Bafta-winning comedy. In the first episode, viewers are introduced to The Helivets – a pair of pink jump-suit clad heroes who claim they can save any pet in peril. There’s also a director whose art mimics life and whose credits include The Man Who Has A Cough And It’s Just A Cough And It’s Fine.

Other sketches and characters featured in this opening episode include The Carry On Hospital, in which a young doctor finds himself working in a bawdy Seventies hospital but can’t quite master innuendo; and Bigfeet and Redbeard, two Stone-Age workers put out by the thought of having to attend a “Bronze” orientation day.
