Fans of Peep Show are in for a treat as David Mitchell and Robert Webb are about to unleash their first feature length movie on the public.

Magicians is a new British comedy set in the world of stage magic.

Mitchell and Webb star as lifelong friends Harry and Karl - the greatest magic double act in the country. But after a guillotine illusion goes horribly and spectacularly wrong, their friendship and their careers are finished.

Now, down on his luck and out of cash, Harry sets his sights on the prize money of the prestigious 'International Magic Shield' tournament. But to win he will have to compete against the world's oddest (and saddest) magicians - including his deadly rival Karl.

Magicians which also stars Darren Boyd (Green Wing) and Peter Capaldi (The Thick of It) opens May 18.
