Ken Barlow was amazing impression, but Debras Pat from east Enders was beyond amazing and utterly inspired with every twitch and flick. I’ve watched this many times and now laugh when eastenders is on as I think Debras impression. Debra is amazingly beautiful. Both cute and foxy at the same time, a very rare combination. I love her.
The woman playing the make up artist in the Paul O'Grady sketch was a regular in Channel 4's Star Stories (she played Scary Spice, Naomi Campbell and loads of other characters). Fuckin' beautiful as well as a very talented actor*. PS, Debra Stephenson as the female co-host of the One Show in a tight blue mini-dress - hubba hubba!!!! *Rosalyn Wright.
This show is a good example of what can happen to a style of comedy when the characters are considered more important than the scripts. It's not a new problem. Impressions never need to be bang on, they just need to capture elements of the subjects, in order for an audience to recognise them, then heighten those elements. Then you can go in a number of directions, including putting the character in an incongruous 'fish out of water' situation, or pair them with another, unlikely character. The potential pitfalls, in terms of actual quality, are significant. Picking out a bunch of characters for stars and/or an ensemble to perform and then writing to fit almost always leads to sloppy material. And if the material is bad, the only saving grace, if there is one, is that the characterizations are _so_ good that they can make a terrible sketch slightly less terrible. With that in mind, when you strap yourself for a few mins just to see what it's like, there are a few red flags you don't want to see waved. The main one: characters announcing who they are at the top. That is poison. If a show is predicated on the fact that the stars will be doing impressions of real people, any sketch in which we have to be told who the character is is more than a fucking red flag, it's a death knell. Announcing a character automatically means that character shouldn't be in the show. That it _is_ in the show means they're struggling to fill. I saw Simon Greenall's name in the credits. It's quite sad, really. He's more talented than the stars combined.
It makes sense for some these tho. Her saying "I'm Nancy delalio" is kinda part of the joke. With the "I'm Fiona Bruce" one, she's playing a news reader, they always announce who they are
It's a good thing Culshaw does. You wouldn't know otherwise. Culshaw just sounds like Culshaw. Even his make up doesn't do it. I'd never have guessed Schofield for starters.
@@Anonymous-or4ru think he works much better on radio when you can't see him. his bojo in this lockdown series of dead ringers is pretty good, but maybe it's easier to think kinder of him when there's a bigger team helping getting laughs in and it's not just him and Stephenson
