Anyone watch this on BBC2 last night? Comedy starring Peep Show's David Mitchell and Robert Webb as UK diplomats in the fictional central Asian country of Tazbekistan. Written by the guys behind Rev and Spooks and supposedly with a lot of input from actual and former Foreign and Commonwealth Office staff, it certainly had an air of plausibility about it.

Not as laugh out loud funny as Peep Show I thought but still amusing where it's meant to be, and with quite a lot of food for thought as issues such as human rights abuses, international arms deals and sex tourism are touched upon. The actress playing Natalya is damn hot too. Will watch again.
 
Big fan of Mitchel & Webb so I've got it on the Sky+ and will look to catch it over the weekend.
Wasn't expecting laughs every second - so sounds like the level of humour I was expecting.
 
Not laugh out loud funny, but will certainly watch next week. Interesting storyline with an good take on what amounts to international politics. Enjoyed it.
