Mitchell and Webb discuss future plans

David Mitchell and Robert Webb have confirmed that Peep Show is returning for another series in 2007.

The comedy duo will start filming for the new series of the Channel 4 sitcom next year, while their BBC Two sketch show will also be making a return.

"We're going to make another series of Peep Show and David and I are going to do more of our award-losing sketch show," Webb explained at the British Comedy Awards this week. "And after that I don't know what will happen."

The pair are also making their film debut in Magicians next year. The movie, written by Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, follows two magicians competing in a magic competition.

"It was good fun to do, and Sam and Jesse wrote it," David added. "They're good at that. It's magic brackets metaphorically. I learnt to make a billiard ball turn into two, and then three and then four billiard balls, as if by magic but actually by trick."

Asked to reveal the secret of the trick, he replied: "I can't possibly, I'd be thrown out of the magic circle, that's the second half of my career scotched then!"
