In Series 2, Episode 4 of That Mitchell & Webb Look, viewers are in for another wild ride of British sketch comedy. The show is known for its witty writing and deadpan delivery, and this episode is no exception.

The episode starts off with a sketch called "Brain Surgeons," where we see a group of doctors preparing for surgery. But as they get ready to operate, it becomes clear that they have no idea what they're doing. They start singing songs and reciting poetry instead of actually performing the surgery. This sets the tone for the rest of the episode, which is full of absurd and hilarious scenarios.

Next up is a sketch called "Old Lady Job Interview," where we see a woman in her 80s interviewing for a job. The interviewer is clearly skeptical, but the woman is convinced that she's the perfect candidate. She starts bragging about all of her accomplishments and eventually reveals that she's actually a spy. The twist at the end of the sketch is both unexpected and hilarious.

In "Big Talk," we see two men sitting in a cafe, trying to one-up each other with their exaggerated stories. One man claims to have climbed Everest, while the other says he's been to space. The conversation gets more and more ridiculous as they try to outdo each other, but it's all in good fun.

Another standout sketch in this episode is "Get Me Hennimore," which features Robert Webb as a man who can't stop shouting "Get me Hennimore!" no matter what's happening around him. At first, we have no idea who Hennimore is or why he's so important, but as the sketch progresses, we start to get a better idea of what's going on. The payoff at the end of the sketch is well worth the wait.

One of the longer sketches in this episode is "The Awkward Dinner Party," where we see two couples trying to have a nice dinner together. But things quickly spiral out of control as they start arguing over everything from politics to religion to whether or not it's acceptable to wear socks with sandals. The tension between the couples reaches a fever pitch, and the sketch ends with a surprising twist.

Another great sketch in this episode is "The Quiz Broadcast," where we see two quiz show hosts engaging in some seriously questionable behavior. They start making up answers to the questions and screwing with the contestants just for their own amusement. The sketch is a hilarious commentary on the darker side of game shows.

Finally, the episode ends with a sketch called "The Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit Show," which is a parody of cheesy '80s cartoons. The sketch follows two superheroes who are constantly getting into ridiculous adventures and making terrible jokes. It's a lighthearted and fun way to close out the episode.

Overall, Series 2, Episode 4 of That Mitchell & Webb Look is another strong entry in the show's canon. The writing is sharp, the performances are top-notch, and the sketches are consistently funny. Fans of British comedy won't want to miss this episode.
