Mitchell and Webb reveal struggles of finding success
The pair will soon be seen starring in a new TV series.
Peep Show star David Mitchell has spoken of his frustration over the difficulty of achieving success.
The comedian, who first found fame with comedy partner Robert Webb on television in That Mitchell And Webb Look, will soon be reunited with his frequent collaborator in new series Back on Channel 4, but said the duo’s achievements have been hard won.
He told the Radio Times: “What I’ve found really annoying is that the thing I really wanted to do had to be such a challenge.
“And it continues to feel impossible.”
Asked if it had really been that hard for the two of them to make it, Webb added: “It took f**king ages.”
Mitchell said the fact they work together so often puts extra pressure on them to deliver in their joint projects.
“Deciding to take a random job that we quite fancy doing on our own is less loaded with significance than the two of us going into something together.
“We are offered things together that try to parachute us into something either we don’t fit or isn’t at all new, so we are careful in that way.”
He added: “It would make the other one uneasy. You would go, ‘Oh, that’s nice for him,’ to be a world-famous star.
