AMBASSADORS

BRITBOX COMEDY

Robert Webb described this short but sweet comedy as a cross between Yes, Prime Minister and Spooks, which is pretty accurate. He and his best pal David Mitchell (both below) play staff members at the British embassy in the fictional Central Asian state of Tazbekistan. Keeley Hawes and her real-life husband Matthew Macfadyen (who met while working on Spooks, coincidentally) also appear alongside Susan Lynch and Tom Hollander. From Thursday
