New internet comedy series

Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller are to front a new comedy series for the BBC's website.

The duo will revive pretentious critics Craig and Martin - last seen in the Times podcasts Timeghost – for a spoof online review show, called The Node.

Six instalments, beginning next month, will feature the duo seeking out what they think are the latest trends on the net.

It will also feature guest reviewer Stuart Ashens, whose YouTube clips attract tens of thousands of views, as part of the BBC's policy of matching new talent with existing names to increase their exposure.

The Node will be launched on the BBC’s comedy website to coincide with the second series of BBC1’s The Armstrong And Miller Show.
