It's been over a decade since That Mitchell and Webb Look launched on BBC Two – and over 7 years since the final episode went out.

But despite the lengthy hiatus, David Mitchell and Robert Webb have told Digital Spy that they're still eager to return to the sketch show format.

Webb said: "Technically, That Mitchell and Webb Look is still 'resting' – I mean, it's had a f**king good rest. It ended in 2010. But they don't say it's cancelled.

"Doing a sketch show was all we ever wanted, and then we got it... and then it stopped. But these things go in cycles and I wouldn't be surprised if, in a few years time, people go, 'Hang on, we used to love sketch shows! Why don't we do a sketch show again?'."

Mitchell added: "The League of Gentlemen are doing three special episodes, and that's broadly speaking a sketch show, so maybe the wheel is turning. We loved doing a sketch show and we're very proud of it. We'd love to do more."

We'd love to see Mitchell and Webb back in the sketch game, whether it be with a revival of That Mitchell and Webb Look or an entirely new show.

But surely the chance to revisit Numberwang and Sir Digby Chicken Caesar is too good to resist?

Mitchell and Webb's new sitcom Back begins tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
