Watch That Guy

That Guy from C Spot was a British comedy television series that premiered in 2006 and ran for four seasons- up until 2010. The show starred David Mitchell, Robert Webb, and James Bachman. The show was a sketch comedy that lampooned popular culture and everyday life. It was inspired by the late-night entertainment show "The Catherine Tate Show" and the "Harry Enfield and Chums" show of the late 1990s.

That Guy from C-Spot had a format that entailed a series of spoofs and sketches, with the three main actors taking on the roles of various characters. The show was divided into segments, some of which focused on recurring characters while others spoofed TV shows or movies.

David Mitchell, Robert Webb, and James Bachman had a great comedic timing and the show was popular for their portrayals of a range of kooky and absurd characters. Mitchell played the part of the voice of reason who was frequently overruled by his counterparts, while Webb and Bachman played more outrageous characters.

One of the most consistently popular characters was "The Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit," a superhero duo consisting of a BMX enthusiast and an angelic summoner of divine forces. The sketches were notable for how ridiculous they got, with over-the-top plot twists and heroes who were hardly heroic in their actions.

Another popular character was Numberwang, a ridiculous game show where players tried to guess a random number by shouting "Numberwang!" - the sketch would then degenerate into chaos as the contestants said random numbers that turned out to be wrong.

Other notable C-Spot sketches included "The Snooker Commentator," where the trio would commentate on the most mundane of activities, such as buying a cup of coffee or changing a lightbulb. "The Popcorn Café" skit always left viewers with a smile on their face, as did the “Deep-voiced phone-answerer,” who gave the impression of an answer machine but was available to talk to.

The show regularly included spoofs on popular television shows and films, such as "The Apprentice," "Lost," "Doctor Who," and "The Da Vinci Code." These spoofs were often exaggerated to the point of absurdity, adding to the humor of the sketches.

One of the most memorable recurring characters was "Sir Digby Chicken Caesar," a homeless man imagined as a hero from an action movie, complete with an imaginary sidekick, Ginger. The sketches featuring Digby Caesar were often laugh out loud funny, a testament to the trio’s profound understanding of the nuance of comedy.

That Guy from C-Spot was a comedic tour-de-force, a must-watch for lovers of British humor. The show was loved by all audiences and it stood out as one of the top comedy shows of the time. The chemistry, timing, and improvisation of the three actors made every episode unforgettable.

Overall, That Guy from C Spot was a hilarious show that had something for everyone. From pop culture spoofs to absurd character sketches to hilarious antics, it kept viewers laughing each episode. David Mitchell, Robert Webb, and James Bachman were exceptional as performers, and will always be remembered for their contributions to the world of comedy in the UK.
