For the next six weeks and starting on Wednesday 9th January, Mark Evans' excellent comedy series 'Bleak Expectations' is repeated at 6.30pm on Radio 4. It stars Anthony Head, Celia Imrie, Richard Johnson, Geoffrey Whitehead and Tom Allen, and I play the idiot Harry Biscuit.
Series 2 will be recording in May this year.

I've uploaded a new 'sort of' song.
You might like it. You might not. It doesn't matter, it only took me about half an hour to do. I like the last third of it particularly.

So last night (as you can probably tell from my profile photo) That Mitchell and Webb Look won the BAFTA for Best Comedy Programme. We were all genuinely shocked - the rumour mill said that Catherine Tate was definitely going to win it - and I was tremendously glad to be able to go up on stage with Rob and David, particularly as I really needed to urinate and there were loos backstage.
Sadly no actual gong for me (I wasn't an official nominee - the one I'm holding is David's) but loads of lovely texts from friends watching at home and an excited message from my mother shouting 'We just saw you! We just saw you!'.
Then, on to the BAFTA after-party at the Natural History Museum, and finally to a hotel bar in Marleybone until 6am, where I met both Nick from The Apprentice and the really very lovely Sue Johnston (David played her son in Jam And Jerusalem).
Hurrah.

Tomorrow (Saturday), after Jonathan Ross (so, 1pm), there is a pilot on Radio 2 called 'Sasha's Best of British' that stars Barunka O'Shaughnessy and me as Eastern European socialite Sasha and her British chauffeur on a journey to find the best part of Britain. Barunka and I wrote it together, and it also stars Felicity Montague (Lynne from Alan Partridge) and Alex Kirk. I think it is funny, and perhaps you might enjoy it too. And you can Listen Again, for a whole week after it's been broadcast, on the Radio 2 website.

'Bleak Expectations', a Dickensian comedy serial written by 'That Mitchell and Webb Look' alumnus and my comedy collaborator Mark Evans is recording for Radio 4 in March. It stars Tom Allen as our hero Pip Bin, me, James Bachman as his idiot friend Harry Biscuit, Geoffrey Whitehead as six violent brothers, Laurence Howarth as the ironically named Mr Parsimonius, and the tremendously comforting Richard Johnson as the narrator. Expect cameos from people you've heard of. And perhaps people you haven't. But mainly expect lots of very funny jokes. Recordings: Episodes 1 & 2 - March 23rd Episodes 3 & 4 - March 26th Episodes 5 & 6 - March 30th All at the Drill Hall, Chenies Street, London. Tickets are available from the BBC Ticketing Unit.

'Under One Roof', the sketch show pilot set in a shopping centre which I wrote and performed in last year is being shown on BBC3 at 9.30pm on February 26th, and to whet your appetite for this series that didn't happen I've added a short sketch to my video clips entitled 'Let Them Eat Cake' that I did with Rufus Jones. It's also on the BBC3 website at the moment. And as part of the same BBC3 'Comedy Specials' season on February 12th at 9.30pm you can also see me deliver a small cameo in Mark Watson's 'Living With Two People You Like Separately But Not As A Couple' as the main character's literary agent. As far as I can remember (I haven't seen it) I mainly eat a sandwich.

Watch me interview David Mitchell and Robert Webb about their upcoming BBC2 sketch show, That Mitchell And Webb Look. Thirty-five whole minutes of it. Though I've asked them to cut some stuff where we're all being a bit tetchy.

Currently editing a 'making of' documentary about TMAWL for the DVD. Harder than I thought. Especially as I've never filmed or edited anything before myself. It's amazing how boring hours and hours of footage of people standing around near cameras can be.
Interviewed Robert and David for it earlier this week. Look out for a promotional clip on their MySpace page coming in the next few days.
