Product Description

Dive into the bizarre yet strangely familiar world of Mitchell and Webb -- the wittiest men on television, or anywhere else. From the two finest comedians of their generation comes the ultimate Christmas comedy book -- lavishly illustrated in colour, containing all sorts of outrageous stuff that will have you laughing into the spring and beyond. David Mitchell and Robert Webb have been hard at work cramming all the comic genius that marked their award-winning TV and radio shows into one very beautiful and very funny hardback book. Ted the snooker commentator's Hello Magazine photo shoot will be unveiled for the very first time, and expect guest appearances from Dr Jonathan Miller and CSI's David Caruso. David and Rob have also unearthed Hitler's lost text messages and some notes Peter Mandelson left on his fridge. They will offer tips on surviving the credit crunch for all those that need them. Expect a board game put together by Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar, a guide to the cheeses of Saudi Arabia, and news of the ever-expanding range of Mitchell and Webb products. This Mitchell and Webb book will be supported by a frankly enormous marketing budget and stunning publicity everywhere. This will be the best comedy book for a long time, not least because David and Robert have put every page together themselves.

Customer Reviews

Clever AND laugh-out-loud funny
Books tied in with television comedy shows can be a bit hit-and-miss. You have to write many more words to fill a book than for a TV script. No problem with this one, though: it succeeds in being both hilarious and rather cleverer than some of the dumbed-down stuff we've had of late (Bo'Selecta, Little Britain...was there ever a Two Pints book? I hope not.)

This book takes no prisoners: Alan Bennett turns into Richard Littlejohn; The Mighty Boosh gets a skewering; there are some superb 'rejected posters' for well-known films. Even the bits from their TV programmes which, due to repetition, have begun to grate a bit (Sir Digby, the snooker commentators) manage to be amusing here.

A fine Christmas pressie for anyone who knows you don't have to be thick to be funny.

Fot the man who has everything
A beautifully produced book,very tactile, excellent coffee table book, just pick it up & dip in for 10 minutes.

Buy this book!
I put this book on my christmas list and then ended up buying it anyway and I am very glad I did! It is so funny, it has kept me perky and giggly for days. Every bit as good as their TV and radio stuff but with a new format to try out new things. I couldn't recommend it more highly!

Also - starting to find David Mitchell strangely attractive but that may be unrelated to the book!
