The Whole Class Thing

Here to show you why your ringtone is making you sound common are David Mitchell and Robert Webb. Now that a new, stealthier form of snobbery has replaced the old class divisions, the Peep Show stars are on hand to advise. Class hasn't gone away - it's just that people have found new ways of looking down on one another. Whether it's where you've bought your sofa from, or whether you've got a monogrammed case for your Blackberry, you can bet that someone's smirking at your choice. With posh people given to hiding their background - it's so naff to look like your parents might have helped you out - and the less privileged torn between celebrating their roots and betraying them, Mitchell and Webb reveal that class is now more complicated, and vexing, than it's ever been. David Mitchell is a lower-middle class boy who worries that people think he is pretending to be posher than he is, and Robert Webb is a working class boy who doesn't like to go on about it. They know that no-one is quite what they seem these days, and that everyone is a bit common now.
The Whole Class Thing is a darkly funny, razor-sharp update on class and snobbery today from two of Britain's very best young comedians
