In Series 2, Episode 2 of That Mitchell & Webb Look, viewers are treated to more hilarious sketches and parodies from the comedic duo of David Mitchell and Robert Webb. The episode features a variety of comedic scenarios, ranging from a satirical look at television game shows to a humorous exploration of the concept of reincarnation. Fans of the series will appreciate the unique brand of humor that Mitchell and Webb bring to the table, as well as the sharp wit and clever writing that have become hallmarks of their comedy.

One of the standout sketches in this episode is a parody of the popular television game show, "Deal or No Deal." In the sketch, Mitchell plays the host of the game show, while Webb plays one of the contestants. As the game progresses, it becomes clear that Webb's character is not particularly savvy when it comes to making deals, and his attempts to negotiate with the mysterious figure known as "The Banker" quickly become comical.

Another memorable sketch in the episode is a send-up of the popular BBC series, "Doctor Who." In the sketch, Mitchell plays the titular Time Lord, while Webb plays his loyal companion. However, instead of battling evil monsters and saving the galaxy, the duo find themselves engaged in a much more mundane task: filling out paperwork. The sketch cleverly satirizes the tendency of the "Doctor Who" franchise to focus on convoluted plot lines and excessive exposition, by reducing it to a simple office scenario that is relatable to anyone who has ever had to fill out a form.

In addition to these sketches, the episode also features a variety of other comedic scenarios, including a parody of a crime scene investigation show, an exploration of the concept of reincarnation, and a sketch that pokes fun at the ridiculousness of reality television. Throughout it all, Mitchell and Webb's trademark wit and humor shine through, making for a thoroughly entertaining viewing experience.

Overall, Series 2, Episode 2 of That Mitchell & Webb Look is a must-watch for fans of the series, as well as anyone who appreciates clever, irreverent comedy.
