Early life
Mitchell was born in Salisbury to Ian and Kathy Mitchell, who then were hotel managers.[1] In 1977 his parents gave up their jobs in order to look after a then two year old David Mitchell. The family moved to Oxford where Mitchell's parents became lecturers at Oxford Brookes University.[1] This article is about the city of Oxford in England. ...

| “ | When I was at school I either wanted to be a comedian-stroke-actor or Prime Minister. But I didn't admit that to other people, I said I wanted to be a barrister and that made my parents very happy. I didn't admit I wanted to be a comedian until I came to university, met a lot of other people who wanted to be comedians, and realised it was an OK thing to say.[2] | „ | | At preparatory school, Mitchell often took part in plays, "largely because you got to play cards backstage."[2] His roles largely consisted of small minute-long parts, until he won the role of Rabbit in Winnie the Pooh, and this was the first time that he was "consciously aware I was doing a performance" and that that "was better, even, than playing cards."[2] Mitchell had been "obsessed" with comedy writing since his school days, as he "always felt that doing a joke was the cleverest thing", and "would intrinsically prefer a parody of something to the actual thing itself".[3] He attended Abingdon School in Oxfordshire but "failed to put on a show", despite the fact that he had written "reams and reams of sketches."[3] In 1993 he went to Peterhouse, Cambridge University where he studied history.[1] There he began performing with the famous Cambridge Footlights, of which he became president.[4] He met Robert Webb in his first year at university, at an audition for a student pantomime of Cinderella,[5] with the pair setting up a comedy partnership.[3] These two factors had a detrimental effect on his university work, with Mitchell just scraping a 2.2 in his final exams.[3] Mitchell worked as an usher at the Lyric Hammersmith theatre, before he embarked into comedy.[6] In the fictional world of the book series and cartoons Winnie the Pooh, Rabbit is a responsible rabbit who happens to be a good friend of Winnie the Pooh. ...

Career Mitchell and Webb
Mitchell as Mark Corrigan in Peep Show. The pair put together their first project in January 1995, a show about the First World War[7] entitled Innocent Millions Dead or Dying: A Wry Look at the Post- Apocalyptic Age.[8] Robert Webb later described it as being "fucking terrible".[7] After leaving university he and Webb began performing a number of two-man shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.[3] From this, the pair were given the chance to write for Armstrong and Miller, and for series two of Big Train.[4] Image File history File links Mark_Corrigan. ...

The duo's first break into television acting was in 2000, on the short-lived BBC sketch show Bruiser, which they primarily wrote, and starred in. The show also featured Olivia Colman, who would become a regular cast member of Mitchell and Webb projects, and Martin Freeman, later of The Office fame.

In 2001 the pair were commissioned for a sketch show of their own, entitled The Mitchell and Webb Situation, which ran for six episodes on the former channel Play UK.[4] Despite the fact that the show only ran for one series it was reasonably well received. Wessex Scene's Darren Richman said "what the series lacked in budget, it made up for in magnificent material" and went on to call it "far superior to the vastly overrated Little Britain" and "perhaps the greatest forgotten sketch show of modern times."[3] Eureka! TV said that the show "gushes forth an hilarious stream of surreal and quirkily inventive sketches", as well as calling it a "cult success". Eureka! TV released The Mitchell and Webb Situation on DVD in 2005.[10] In the interview with Wessex Scene, Mitchell stated that he was "more proud of the way it turned out than annoyed that it was only aired on a small channel."[3] The Mitchell and Webb Situation was a British television sketch show shown on Play UK in 2001. ...

Mitchell and Webb's next project came in 2003, with them starring in the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show, as flatmates Mark Corrigan and Jeremy Usbourne respectively.[11] The show originated from writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain's failed attempt to complete a team-written sitcom for the BBC, they had an old script that they wanted to revive and Mitchell and Webb helped out, with it eventually evolving into Peep Show.[2] The show was received to wide critical acclaim. The British Sitcom Guide called it "without a doubt one of the best sitcoms of the decade."[11] Ricky Gervais has been cited as saying "the last thing I got genuinely excited about on British TV was Peep Show, which I thought was the best sitcom since Father Ted".[12] Having run for three series the programme has returned for a fourth. Before filming of the fourth had finished, it was commissioned for a fifth series.[13] The BBC hailed Mitchell's performance in the series, citing that "As Mark Corrigan, David reached out to all those middle-aged men in a twentysomething's body, who believe drugs are boring and systems are necessary if society is to function at all."[4] Mitchell has stated that he empathises with Mark and enjoys playing him and that he "agrees with many of [Mark's] opinions."[3] The show has won, and been nominated for, several awards including a BAFTA.

The show was adapted for television and became That Mitchell and Webb Look, producer Gareth Edwards described it as "the shortest pitch [he had] ever written".[7] The British Sitcom Guide named That Mitchell and Webb Look the "Best Sketch Show of 2006", as well as saying that it was the best thing that David Mitchell did in all of 2006.[14] That Mitchell and Webb Look has been commissioned for second series,[2] with the first being released on DVD on October 29, 2007.[15] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

The duo also front the campaign of the UK version of Apple Inc.'s Get a Mac adverts.[19] The adverts have received much criticism. The Guardian writer Charlie Brooker claimed that the use Mitchell and Webb in the adverts was a curious choice. He compared the characters of PC and Mac in the adverts to that of Mark and Jeremy in Peep Show, stating that "when you see the ads, you think, 'PCs are a bit rubbish yet ultimately lovable, whereas Macs are just smug, preening tossers.'"[20] The British Sitcom Guide also criticised the pair for "selling their souls".[14] The Telegraph wrote that an unnamed journalist called the adverts "worse than not funny", finishing that by using their comedy "for corporate ends" Mitchell and Webb committed "an act of grave betrayal".[21] In an interview with The Telegraph, Robert Webb responded to the duo's critics, stating that "when someone asks, 'Do you want to do some funny ads for not many days in the year and be paid more than you would be for an entire series of Peep Show?' the answer, obviously, is, 'Yeah, that's fine.'"[21] In the same interview, Mitchell also said "I don't see what is morally inconsistent with a comedian doing an advert. It's all right to sell computers, isn't it? Unless you think that capitalism is evil - which I don't. It's not like we're helping to flog a baby-killing machine."[21] Apple Inc. ...

The show was not well received, with the British Sitcom Guide naming it as the worst thing that Mitchell did in all of 2006 in their "British Sitcom Awards" of that year.[14] He portrayed the recurring character of Dr. James Vine in the BBC sitcom Jam and Jerusalem.[25] Mitchell appeared in a small cameo role as a photographer in the 2006 film Confetti, which starred Robert Webb.[26] Mitchell has a small part in the upcoming film I Could Never Be Your Woman, he will play an English writer, also named David.[12] He has also written for series five of the BBC2 impressionist sketch show Dead Ringers.[27] In 2006, he narrated the "social experiment" Beauty and the Geek.[4] He also has narrated a series of advertisements for the Goodfellas Solos range of pizzas, and for Bonjela ointment.

Personal life Mitchell is obsessive-compulsive, with him constantly "checking and re-checking things",[41] and he currently lives in a small flat in Kilburn.[2] He cannot drive as he never took any lessons.[41] In a 2005 interview, Mitchell admitted that he had "been in so many situations when I've just said nothing to someone I've fancied",[3] and in an appearance on Parkinson he claimed his love life to be "uneventful".[42] In 2007, he was best man at Robert Webb's wedding to Abigail Burdess.[6] He remains interested in history and said in an interview with The Observer that "I can see myself in a few years' time joining the National Trust and going round the odd castle. I think I might find that restful as the anger of middle age sets in." In his interview on Parkinson he stated that if he could go back in time to do one thing, it would be to go the building of Stonehenge, to ask them "why they were doing it".[42] He also plays the occasional game of squash and tennis, and enjoys watching snooker.[7] Mitchell has expressed an interest in writing a novel but admitted that he currently has no ideas.[3] âOCDâ redirects here. ...
