A good show. Well worth viewing.I did spot one small error. In the first two episodes the embassy cars Union flag, when shown, was upside down.This is in fact an international symbol of distress. A very minor detail but worth mentioning. And assuredly did not spoil a very good program.M. Lingard

I knew what I was going to get with Ambassadors, some great Mitchell and Webb moments, but unfortunately they didn't come as often as I would have liked. Having previously not heard of the mini-series I had a suspicion that there was a reason for that. Whilst enjoyable and definitely watchable, it just lacks the chemistry of which Peep Show and the Mitchell and Webb Look possessed so much of.For die hard Mitchell and Webb viewers, this T.V. show will offer some good times, but I would't be bragging about it to anyone else. Whilst the comedy is still slightly visible in this snowy show, there just isn't enough of it over the babbling of words we don't care about.

As a former member of the British Diplomatic Service I found this series ticked a lot of boxes. I recognised a number of the characterisations as being similar to people I had come across in my own career, and the balance of realistic scenarios and humour was cleverly done. I found myself empathising with several of the characters in the Embassy who struggled to maintain a semblance of normal life amid conflicting, usually urgent and sometimes dangerous, calls on their time. Reviewer journalist1 clearly has a different interpretation of "politically correct" than me. The programme deliberately poked fun at institutions and individuals, from the British Royal Family to the ruling clique of the semi-fictitious country where it is set. Of course there were errors - the Union Jack regularly being flown upside down, for example, something that the producers should really have got right - and it had to be a bit "over-the-top" to be funny, but overall it was an amusing but realistic peek into the world of modern diplomacy at the day-to-day level. I hope there will be another series.

Ambassadors is set in the fictional country of Tazbekistan,with Mitchell playing British ambassador Keith Davis and Webb his trusty aid. It is divided into three,one hour long episodes. I would class this as comedy/satire and found it very well acted(great cast) and highly enjoyable as you watch the British move from one disaster to the next while at the same time struggling with there new place in the world order! This is a show with many references to British culture but this is not vital to the plot and I would highly recommend it to people from any nation.Finally I must reiterate that Tazbekistan is not a real country,so NSA if you are reading this there is no point trying to bug them or there leaders......my telephone seems to be clicking so I better go!(quiet voice) Lets hope for a second series.
