A trailer for new BBC Two series Ambassadors, starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, has been released online.
The Peep Show duo act together in the three-part show, which is described as a comedy-drama. Watch the trailer below:
The 30-second trailer shows Mitchell playing ambassador Keith Davies, and Webb as his second in command Neil Tilly. The pair work at the British embassy in the fictional country of Tazbekistan.
Speaking to Digital Spy about Ambassadors, Mitchell said that the show was "very much on the drama side".
"Hopefully it's got funny moments," he continued. "I think the key distinction between a sitcom and a comedy-drama is that in a sitcom people are bad at their jobs, but in a comedy-drama, they can be good at them.
