David Mitchell and Robert Webb are hatching an Evansesque conspiracy to take over broadcasting. While Peep Show continues its third series on Channel 4 and David busies himself with guest slots on QI and More4′s The Last Word, BBC honchos are angling for a bigger slice of the M&W action.

M&W spent years polishing their satirical weapons on Radio 4′s That Mitchell & Webb Sound. With a predictability that Coldplay can only dream about, the Beeb has now decided that they’re famous enough to transfer to telly. A TM&WS pilot shoots in January and screens on BBC2 in the spring.

But where will TM&WS land on the radio-to-telly transfer axis?
