David Mitchell's emotional confession about relationship with wife Victoria Coren
Comedian David Mitchell has been happily married to Victoria Coren for over a decade. Comedian David Mitchell has lifted the lid on his relationship with now-wife Victoria Coren, which he discusses in his memoir 'Back Story'. The Peep Show actor confessed to being "hopelessly in love" with Victoria, who he says initially rejected his romantic advances. "I was hopelessly in love. I told no one about it," he reveals in his book. "I didn't tell my closest friends or my parents of the enormous sadness that overshadowed my life." The adoration he felt for Victoria lingered in silence until she finally consented to a date with him years later. "I waited three years. Isn't that weird? Aren't I odd? I can't explain it other than to say I couldn't do anything else," he reflects in his writing. "If only I'd known I just had to wait three years... I would gladly have suffered ten times as much." Although he was suffering, the star kept his anguish well-concealed behind his humour. "The problem is, I hate the sort of dating thing," he admits, reports the Express. "I just find it incredibly awkward... I don't dislike being single enough to put myself through the pain." David and Victoria, now host of BBC's Only Connect, instantly hit it off at their fatefully timed meeting during a Halloween party in 2007, having been introduced by fellow comedian David Baddiel. Victoria confessed: "He specifically said to me, 'There's David Mitchell over there, I think you should probably marry him, I'll get the ball rolling by introducing you. I thought that was ridiculous but, a couple of hours later, I thought I would probably marry him," as reported by MSN. Initially, Victoria brushed off the suggestion, but by the end of the night, she was sold on the idea. Despite their instant connection, it took several years before they embarked on their first official date, as the timing wasn't right. Victoria was still grieving the loss of her father, Alan Coren, who died from cancer in 2007. David patiently bided his time, never pressuring his now-beloved wife but always nurturing the hope of a shared future. Their first official date eventually happened in 2010, and they tied the knot in 2012. David has never shied away from expressing his deep love for Victoria. "I am just incredibly proud that someone like Victoria wants to be with me," he declares. "She has these amazing qualities, but fundamentally, we clicked. I fell in love with her." In his memoir, he portrays her as "too wonderful" and "too right for me." The couple celebrated the birth of their two daughters - Barbara Elizabeth in 2015 and June Violet in 2023.

Channel 4 Launches Comedy YouTube Channel As Digital Boss Reveals Strategy Insight: 'The Show Starts At Minus 10 Seconds'
EXCLUSIVE: Having kickstarted the careers of David Mitchell, Chris Morris and Jamie Demetriou, Channel 4 is taking its rich comedy heritage to YouTube with the launch of a new channel. The Gogglebox network has expanded its YouTube strategy by rolling out A Comedy Thing, which will publish weekly long-form programming for YouTube plus content on TikTok and Instagram. The move is one of the biggest bets taken by Channel 4 having three years ago launched Channel 4.0, the network's digital first brand that is looking to supercharge YouTube per Channel 4's much-vaunted Fast Forward strategy. A Comedy Thing will live alongside Channel 4.0 as a separate channel. More from Deadline News UK Expands Original IP Ambitions With 14 Projects In Development Based On Its Archive Channel 4's Head Of Creative Diversity Exits Prince Harry, Paddington Bear & Keir Starmer Puppets Lined Up For 'Spitting Image: The Rest Is Bulls*!t' YouTube Series A Comedy Thing launches with a cast of seven up-and-coming comics who have emerged from YouTube and the UK stand-up circuit: Vittorio Angelone, Finlay Christie, Olga Koch, Gbemi Oladipo, Micky Overman, Mike Rice and Dan Tiernan. The comics will feature in social entertainment formats produced by Strong Watch Studios and commissioned by Charlie Hyland, with a 'play along element,' explained Sacha Khari, Channel 4's Head of Digital Commissioning. 'We are trying to make the formats feel very simple at the start because if they are too complex then they become abstract,' he added. 'The formats derive from what works well on YouTube but the big difference here is that we are combining the sensibilities of the [digital] talent with that kind of night where all you want to do is watch stand-up.' Khari went on to describe the shows as a 'YouTube proposition for modern audiences who are digital first but also love stand-up,' as he pointed out that around 30% of viewing to Channel 4.0 is on smart TVs rather than mobile phones, suiting an audience that craves long-form. 'If we talk about the stand-up crowd then a fair ambition is saying, 'What does the live version of these formats look like?',' he added. 'All the best creators now are selling out stadiums, they are getting people to purchase energy drinks, and buy t-shirts and hoodies.' He described the seven comics as a 'fresh and formidable lineup.' 'They have really leaned in to the importance of socials and understand that social isn't an enemy but can help and give us the opportunity to talk directly to our audience.' Some content will be clipped for Channel 4's Instagam and TikTok, a strategy that Khari said his team is 'agonizing' over to the same extent as YouTube, while a 'phase two ambition' for the comedy channel is to make podcasts and vodcasts. Khari's team has been in constant communication with Channel 4 comedy boss Charlie Perkins over the YouTube channel but Khari stressed that A Comedy Thing is first and foremost about YouTube, as he pointed out that popular collective The Sidemen made it big on the platform before switching their show Inside to Netflix. 'We are talking about cross departmental opportunities [with Charlie Perkins] but I think that what we have learned with Channel 4.0 is that if we saw this stuff as a nursery slope it's just going to fail,' added Khari. 'The Sidemen didn't immediately think their content had to fit on Netflix – they created something so successful that Netflix came calling.' Having said this, Channel 4 did pilot a 4.0 unscripted format recently, Tapped Out Prank Stars, which featured rapper ArrDee, comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri and JLS singer Aston Merrygold. Khari revealed this pilot was ordered after Tapped Out became one of the top five most-searched Channel 4 shows on YouTube. 'We couldn't just ignore that,' he added. although he noted that discussions are still taking place over a full series of Tapped Out Prank Stars. 'The Show Starts At Minus 10 Seconds' In less than three years, Channel 4.0 has amassed 2.5 million subscribers leading to more than one billion views, with 85% of the audience under the age of 34 – the target market, Khari said. According to Khari, it has taken Channel 4.0 less than half the time it took YouTube star Mr Beast to reach these numbers. 'The speed of growth has been startling yet we've never compromised on where we want to go,' he added. 'Our briefs have been massively consistent and we haven't really taken anything from outside of those briefs.' Khari's core strategy centers on what he describes as 'the show starts at minus 10 seconds.' In effect, this is a reference to Channel 4.0 videos finding ways to reach the top of audiences' YouTube feeds by hooking them in with a clicky thumbnail. Once they have clicked, they need to know they are viewing something of Channel 4 quality, Khari said. 'This is the interesting thing about behavioral commissioning,' he added. 'Our viewers need to stay until the end. If they do then it tells the algorithm that people from their demographic are interested in the types of show we are doing and that pushes them up the newsfeed.' Khari shouted out recently-departed Channel 4 boss Alex Mahon for understanding these challenges and manifesting a culture that placed YouTube front and center. 'She knew that YouTube is not the enemy but is a distribution platform,' he added. 'There are still loads of people coming to linear but what YouTube affords is the ability to transcend those remits, values and programmes worldwide. That is a new model.'

I can't stop rewatching this dark comedy show from the 2000s on Prime Video – here's why it's still worth streaming
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Some TV shows are like comfort food, and for me, there's no show more comforting than Peep Show. The British sitcom from the early 2000s has been my go-to whenever I don't know what to watch for quite some time now, and for good reasons. For the uninitiated, Peep Show follows the miseries of self-doubting, uptight loan manager called Mark Corrigan (David Mitchell), who rents a room in his South London flat to Jeremy Usbourne (Robert Webb), aka Jez, an overconfident and impulsive musician. Together, they stumble, blindly through day-to-day life, usually ending up in a desperate situation of their own making. There's something weirdly cozy about watching two awkward flatmates spiral through life's small humiliations, especially when their internal monologues are so brutally honest – and endlessly quotable. I'm not ashamed to admit that I often find myself referencing memorable lines from the series. Don't believe me? Given that I'm writing about a TV show, I can't help but think about a fitting scene from one of my favorite episodes of the entire series, 'Seasonal Beatings' (episode 5 of season 7), where Mark is discussing what to watch next: "We watched all the Losts and they were… somewhat okay, and Heroes had some interesting themes, but also quite a lot of… not so interesting themes. And Prison Break, by the end I very much wanted to break out of the prison that Prison Break had become for us." Unlike many other shows, Peep Show isn't just "somewhat okay". It does have interesting themes and I never want to break out of my habit of streaming it on repeat. Whether you're discovering it for the first time on one of the best streaming services or rewatching it for the umpteenth time like me, Peep Show remains one of the most unique and rewarding comedies out there. Why you should (still) watch Peep Show The series features some of the best side characters you'll ever meet. From Jez's 'moreish' bandmate Super Hans (Matt King) and Mark's ruthless boss Alan Johnson (Paterson Joseph) to Mark's love interests Sophie (Olivia Coleman) and Dobby (Isy Suttie), the supporting cast are every bit as quirky and engaging as the two leads. Peep Show's cringe humor often sees the show get compared to another well-loved sitcom you might have heard of: The Office. But while both shows are filled with awkward silences and cringe-inducing lead characters, Peep Show is in a class of its own. Its humor is more polished (yes, there are moments of chaos but it doesn't turn slapstick), its underlining themes are much darker (in one episode it goes to the 'heart of darkness') and its characters are far more deluded (the show really doesn't hold back on just how much so at times). But at the same time, it's not doing any of this in a pretentious way. Indeed, there's no gloss here. The flats are grim, the jobs are soul-crushing (although one character does get close to the 'big three': 'museum, lunch and a snooze'), and the dreams are small. But that's what makes the show so easy to watch, because it doesn't pretend to be anything grand. The secondhand embarrassment you feel from the comedy is all amplified by the shaky point-of-view (POV) filming that the show is known for. There's nowhere for the viewer to hide. You see everything up close, making you feel like you're inside the lead characters' heads. While the filming style is unique, it can also take some getting used to. The first season was very much still finding its (rainbow) rhythm with the POV camerawork, and mounted head cameras to the actors to produce the effect – the quality of the footage these cameras produced was quite low, which is why they're used less later in the series. Basically, don't skip the first season because you're put off by the video quality; stick with it, because you'll be rewarded with some of the best gags in the series, including one that makes a reappearance in season 5, which you wouldn't otherwise get if you skipped it. What also makes it such a comforting TV show to stream is that the episodes are short, usually just under 30 minutes, but a lot still happens throughout. Peep Show is the perfect series for short sittings when you need something light to watch because you can easily tune in and out of it. So what are you waiting for? Pour yourself a massive drink. Turn on the TV and crack open this exceptionally funny show that deserves your attention immediately. Merry Peep Show watching everyone! Peep Show is available to watch on Prime Video, Hulu and BritBox in the US, as well as some of the best free streaming services, including Pluto TV, Plex and The Roku Channel. Meanwhile, those in the UK can find it on Netflix, while Australians can stream it on Prime Video, BritBox and Stan.
