That Mitchell and Webb Look is a sketch comedy program on British television featuring David Mitchell and Robert Webb. Since its 2006 debut on BBC Two, its first two seasons were directed by David Kerr, who also helmed Mitchell and Webb's previous sketch show The Mitchell and Webb Situation, but series three and four are directed by Ben Gosling Fuller. Other writers include Jesse Armstrong, James Bachman, Sam Bain, Mark Evans, Olivia Colman, Toby Davies, Chris Pell, Jonathan Dryden Taylor, Joel Morris, Jason Hazeley, Simon Kane, and John Finnemore. Gareth Edwards is its producer. In addition to Abigail Burdess, Gus Brown, Sarah Hadland, and Paterson Joseph, the cast also included Colman, Bachman, and Evans. Many of its characters and sketches first appeared on That Mitchell and Webb Sound, the duo's radio program. A second season of the show, which first broadcast on 14 September 2006, was commissioned later that same year and aired between 21 February 2008 and 27 March 2008. The third series debuted on June 11, 2009. Since the second season, the show has also been shown on BBC HD. In 2007, the first series earned a BAFTA award. The third season premiered on BBC America on April 14, 2010. The fourth season began on BBC Two and BBC HD on July 13, 2010, with a total of six BBC-commissioned episodes. Webb indicated in a November 2011 interview that there are "no plans, unfortunately, for another series of sketches" and that "you'd have to contact the BBC" regarding future series.
