David Mitchell is teaming up with Peep Show co-star and old university mate Robert Webb for a new BBC comedy about the British Embassy in the fictional country of Tazbekistan.
Our Men will follow Mitchellâs Keith Davis, the new British Ambassador, and his team, with Webb as his deputy, Neil.
In a recent interview with Readerâs Digest, Mitchell said, âWe couldnât believe that something along these lines hadnât been written before.â?
âLike a lot of things we do, itâs exploring different attitudes to authority.â? However, expect it to be very different from Peep Show, because âthese are highly capable senior people who very much have jobs.”
The newly-married actor also stressed that âsome people will think my character is right and some people will think heâs wrong and both sets of people will be correct.â?
Our Men will hit our screens in 2013, but if you canât wait for a bit of Mitchell and Webb action, Peep Showâs back on the 9th of November.
