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.
There’s also a clip from a documentary sensitively entitled The Boy With An Arse For A Face; the ultimate football trail; and a thrilling new action movie based on the world-famous Numberwang game show.
