Yeah same here thought it worked superbly and Ball in particular is always great value a bit like Johnny Vegas who he reminds me of for some reason. And the old clips of C&B made me think they weren't that bad at all. The two women were a good leftfield choice too. The episodes are like little parties where great fun is had, it's like a rejigging of Shooting Stars.
The Alien spoof scene was fantastically done, I did wonder if he's ever do that scene and he did just when I happened to watch an odd episode. Great stuff.
