David Mitchell and Robert Webb offer you no less than the magic and wonder of the theatre. Yes, the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd has been captured in this however-many-times-you-think-about-buying-it-in-a-lifetime entertainment opportunity. A whole host (i.e., more than nine) of comic characters, from incompetent space heroes to alcoholic snooker commentators, from aspirant cricketers to deluded vagrants, are brought to life on the magnificence of the stage.

Story
Over the course of the series, David eats his lunchtime sandwiches with children in a primary school and later goes to a street market to see manners - good and bad - in action. He explores where our manners come from with Professor Steven Pinker from Harvard University and the author Henry Hitchings. What do we mean by 'civility' and 'good manners' in public places? Why are people still pinching vicars' bottoms, and what can the state do to improve standards of public behaviour? And, David asks, how is the digital age changing our sense of public space?

Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake? Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing? Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay? Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them? These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats.

Touching Cloth
I liked what I saw of Peep Show and the current sketch show but this is a must if you are a fan. Like 'Dead Ringers' their sketch humour really works as audio only (the art of making mirth from the mundane can sometimes be lost on TV).
There were more than a few moments on public transport when I must have looked like I was going into an involuntary spasm as I tried to hold back an explosive laugh. Especially the 'touching cloth' sketch which has to go down as a classic comedy moments.
Series 2 is already downloaded ready to go; although I may have to avoid listening whilst travelling so I don't get accosted by transport police.

Entertaining surprise
I've only seen little bits of the duo, and was a bit hesitant to buy this. However, I enjoyed it so much, I'll be getting series 2 very soon. I'm not only impressed by the fresh subject matter of their comedy but also the time given to supporting cast members. Mitchell and Webb are very funny but it's nice to hear other voices join in too.
The Shaggy/Scooby Doo sketch had me spluttering out loud with laughter...

I love this duo
If you could sum up That Mitchell and Webb Sound in three words, what would they be?
Reviving Dead Format
Who was your favorite character and why?
I refuse to pick a favorite between Robert or David. They both bring equal brilliance to the duo....okay Robert. No wait David. Bloody hell. I hate this question. Olivia Colman. There. That's an easy answer.
What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldnjQuery18309383272203285411_1501107165317?t experience if you just read the book?
Nothing. This was a radio program. In fact if it were a book, I couldn't hear it at all. Unless you stuck an mp3 player in it like one of those books where you hide a gun.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, it was the snooker bit, but mostly because the train door opened and it was my stop.
Any additional comments?
Seriously poor questions for this program. This is a brilliant sketch show that was done via the radio in Britain. If you like Mitchell and Webb via any of there other shows, you'll love this. If you don't like M&W then you need a doctor. If you don't know who they are, then give a listen. They are quite a funny pair.

Love these guys
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely, I already have.
Who was your favorite character and why?
That's a really hard choice, I thought the pit pony was funny, I liked the early morning alcoholic, they're all so funny.
What does uncredited bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Uncredited is Mitchell and Webb and they did wonderfully.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
You couldn't make a film of this, too many characters.
Any additional comments?
I've liked these guys for years, they're so funny, I listen to them at work and I'm often asked if I'm ok because I'm stifling laughter.
