Magicians (15)

From the writers and stars of Channel 4's Peep Show, what amounts to an extended episode, plus magic tricks. There's no obvious reason why this shouldn't be on television - it's not as if David Mitchell and Robert Webb, playing former magic partners who parted company after an accident with the guillotine trick, are expanding their range - but there are some good jokes scattered around. The best are delivered by Steve Edge, as a particularly egotistical and nasty magician, who greets an unresponsive Channel Island audience with "Bloody hell, you gave the Nazis a warmer welcome than that."
