Ep. 1: Episode 1
Episode one sees Michael McIntyre, The One Show, Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell, Ricky Gervais, Davina McCall, Claudia Winkleman, Kylie and Dannii Minogue all coming in for the Culshaw and Stephenson treatment. Among many sketches, Culshaw shows viewers that Ross Kemp as not quite the hard man he'd have them believe, and Stephenson does a brilliantly acerbic Anne Robinson.
-
Ep. 2: Episode 2
Viewers see a snapshot of Wayne and Colleen Rooney's home life; witness Gordon Brown rapping; and learn the tragic story behind Simon Cowell in Episode 2. Also: Ross Kemp infiltrates another notorious gang; Kylie and Dannii watch as their lesser-known sister, Daggy, hatches a plot to become famous; and DCI Gene Hunt crashes the Midsomer Murders. It seems that Gok Wan may not be all he appears and it looks like Eamonn Holmes is up to his old tricks again.

Ep. 3: Episode 3
The myriad characters this week include Tess Daly and Vernon Kay, who pick up an unexpected holiday hitch-hiker; Jonathan Ross, who delivers a great speech; and Fiona Bruce, who is up to her old tricks again on Antiques Roadshow. Nick Knowles also makes an appearance at the local hardware store and Lorraine Kelly debuts in "Bad Jobs For Celebrities". The Top Gear cast are put through their paces and Gok Wan, Boris Johnson, Amanda Holden, Amy Winehouse and Cheryl Cole all come in for a good ribbing in this fast-moving sketch show.

Ep. 5: Episode 5
This week, the impressions include Gordon Ramsay's debut on CBeebies; Kate Winslet appearing in the Bad Jobs For Celebrities slot; and Kirstie and Phil from Location, Location, Location getting themselves into a bit of a pickle.
