Let’s be crystal clear about this. Back is not Peep Show – What Happened Next? David Mitchell plays a feckless, inept man-child and Robert Webb plays a hopeless charmer who can’t help cocking up and landing on his feet, but that’s where the similarity ends. Almost.

The first image has been released of the cast of Back, the new Channel 4 sitcom starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb and written by Simon Blackwell.
In the new six-part series to be broadcast later this year Stephen’s (David Mitchell) father, a local legend and pub landlord, has died so Stephen is set to – finally – take over the pub. Mum Ellen and sister Cass have no interest in the family business - they're 'creative', with weed to buy and energy-centres to rebalance.
Robert Webb will be promoting his forthcoming book How Not To Be A Boy with live appearances later this year.
He will be appearing in various venues from the Edinburgh International Book Festival on August 27 to the South Bank Centre on November 25.
In the book he sets out to "deconstruct masculinity for comic & political effect via my childhood". The book is published on August 29.
C4 has confirmed that David Mitchell and Robert Webb are returning with a new sitcom. Back is written by Emmy-award winning Simon Blackwell (Veep, In The Loop, Peep Show) and has been commissioned for a six part series.

Robert Webb has signed a two-book deal with Canongate and Audible to write a memoir and a novel.
According to the Bookseller the deal followed an auction with 13 publishers interested in signing the Peep Show star
It has been a busy time for big comedians lately. Not just busy doing gigs and panel shows and plugging their plethora of product, but also busy being taken seriously. Following his guest editorship of the New Statesman and his appearance on Newsnight Russell Brand has now been taken to task by Robert Webb for being more style than content. Webb wrote a stinging response for the New Statesman saying that Brand's anti-voting stance has made him rejoin the Labour Party.
Update 6/11/13: Final part of Ambassadors tonight. This has been an enjoyable, all-too-short, departure for David Mitchell & Robert Webb. When I think of double acts moving into straighter acting roles together I guess the benchmark is Fry & Laurie as the admittedly more comedic Jeeves and Wooster, while then nadir was Hale & Pace in a long forgotten early version of detective drama Dalziel & Pascoe before Warren Clarke and Colin Buchanan took over.
