About this product

Product Information

David Mitchell and Robert Webb star in this comedy-drama about British diplomacy in the fictional republic of Tazbekistan. Hapless but ambitious Keith Davis (Mitchell) is making steady progress up the career ladder at the Foreign Office, with his new role as British Ambassador to Tazbekistan. Neil Tilly (Webb) is the Deputy Head of Mission, and Davis' long-suffering No. 2. Also starring in the three-part series are Keeley Hawes as Davis' wife, Matthew Macfadyen as the Foreign Office official (more commonly referred to as the 'Prince of Darkness'), and Tom Hollander as an obnoxious minor British royal.

  • Potentially a great series but subbed at half time. Some remarkable bits and some fine-tunes acting.

    This was a very engaging mini series which in three episodes was dwardling (very amusingly) somewhere. The middle eastern politics were portrayed as confusingly as they no doubt are. That was the point, but with three episodes and some wonderful cameos we were left high and dry. Assuming it was to continue the BBC scored a monumental own goal as a I imagine the writers had a grand finale up the sleeves of their diplomatic suits.

  • Simply Brilliant

    Very entertaining and would recommend to anybody. I was disappointed though when I read that the BBC are not commissioning a second series.

  • It promises much, unfortunately 3 episodes is not long enough to do so.

    This is a program that should be shown in Australia. Unfortunately it is only 3 episodes long. The story lines and plots are engaging, the characters outstanding.

  • More please

    Ambassadors was the cleverest comedy I've seen in years. The blend of comedy and drama was perfect and an inspiration for future makers. Just incredible that the BBC didn't do a 2nd series
