Does anyone else watch this program at all? I'm not sure if you get it in America as it is but I do believe someone's making an American version of it (just looked it up, Spike TV apparently).

The premise is two flat mates who are a little bit quirky/dysfunctional going about their odd lives. A standout thing about this show is the camera usage, basically they do a lot of point of view stuff from the characters who actually stand around wearing camera headsets to get it just as they would be seeing it. There's a lot of inner voice moments in the show with the characters thinking and these are usually the funniest parts when they say the socially unspeakable things that their characters would think but not actually put voice to.

Anyway if you haven't seen it, watch it, it's very funny in an odd British creepy/weird way (and who doesn't like odd British creepy/weird humour?). They're currently on series 4 and series 5 is already commissioned to follow afterwards.

Oh something of note I forgot to add is the two main characters are David Mitchell and Robert Webb, it's not quite the same thing but they're kind of like Matt Lucas/David Walliams or Simon Pegg/Nick Frost in that they're a strange comedy duo, I guess most of you will know Pegg and Frost from Shaun of the dead but where they parody genres in their work Mitchell and Webb is more strictly aimed at being comedy than parody if you get what I mean. I guess you'll find out what I'm on about if their film that's soon to be released called 'Magicians' makes it's way over to America as well.

Great show.

The camera stuff is quite ingenious as well, it's been done before but never has it been used so much, and the inner thoughts thing works very well too. If you don't know who Mitchell and Web are, they are the new Mac and PC in the Apple advertisements.
