The first edition last week was a deep disappointment (flat, laboured, unfunny) but, IMHO, last night's was in a different league - much improved.

I enjoyed it last night (I missed last week's one) and it certainly hit below the belt. Although I prefered the old latex version to the CGI (although the CGI characters seem to have more character than the people they're modelled on).

I saw it for the first time Sunday night. - My IMPRESSION? - Like spitting image but without the comedy. Why do these people bother?
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Damn, I missed it (busy doing research for a job interview tomorrow). The William and Harry ordering a Pizza gag they used for the trailers was great, though.

I watched the first episode, didn't see last weeks and I watched it again last night. Or at least I watched it until I fell asleep. I didn't even crack a smile.

Here's hoping it doesn't get a second series

I caught it too and thought it hackneyed and most of the gags you could see coming a mile off; Kate Winslet's "made an impression" being the worst.

Finally caught it, and thought most of the gags were just extended way beyond their natural length. Prince Philip as Dick Dastardly was a great idea for about a minute, but the sketch seemed to go on forever, while the Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt idea should have been thrown out at script conference stage.

And as for the Mohammed Fayed sketch, how can you do a sketch about him and not make it funny? The people at Headcases found a way

Indeed, it has become quite diappointing. After flogging the dead horse that is Posh n Becks, they decided to go for Pitt and Jolie. What the f**k was all that about?
Even I'm beginning to tire of seeing Piers Morgan get crushed by large structures .......well perhaps I could stand just one more.
