Yes, I thought they were all at least vaguely familiar.
Except the stupid American (was he American?) whose character I could have done without altogether!

He did seem to drift into American quite a bit. Aren't there any decent British talent that could've played a Russian. Even Aarons Russian accent isn't that bad. 
Oh woops. Yes, he was supposed to be Russian.

Geoffrey McGivern, the original voice of Ford Prefect, among much else.
Ooooh.
Shame it's not the bloke who was the original face.
Love him.
Cheers Timbo. He's done a far bit old Geoffery.

Probably recognize him from Blackadder the third. (Ivor Biggun hehe) and Wolfbane in Chelmsford 123
Edit; Scrub that, he's been in so much stuff I've seen. Always the bridesmaid and all that.
He was even in Press Gang!
What a dude.
I recognised Addison, and her out of My Hero. The lemon-making girl looked familiar, but no one else. And I'm really good with faces!
And Billy Ray Cirus - I know him and his achy breaky heart.

Jo Enright, she's a stand-up (and very, very shy off stage!). She was the benefit woman investigating Brian Potter in Phoenix Nights, amongst other things.

Looking at her Wikipedia entry, Lab Rats S01E01 is the only thing I've ever seen her in.
On further inspection, I think she reminded me of Liz Carling - the second Phoebe in Goodnight Sweetheart.

And one of the tax inspectors, inspecting Alan "I've just released a small but potent gust" Partridge
I know the name Jo Enright but it seems to have been around for ages.
It has. I saw her stand-up at uni about 10 years ago.

I'm in two minds whether to give this show another go or not. Can anyone think of any other sitcoms that have had a pretty dire first episode but have come good as the series progressed? I'm especially cynical as they often shuffle the order of episodes to put one of the strongest episodes first.
