The show's additional cast members include Cavan Clerkin, Oliver Maltman, Terry Mynott, Matthew Steer, Cariad Lloyd and Matt Berry.
Reception
Robinson has received praise for her impersonations. Lucy Mangan of The Guardian says the programme "is just what we need in this strife-strewn year."[3] In comparing it to Rory Bremner's political satire which he describes as "sharp", Mat Baylis of the Daily Express describes the show as "sharp, too, but in a less appealing way."[4]The Telegraph rated it three stars out of five.[5]
