There are many more hits than misses in Anna Crilly and Katy Wix's sketch comedy as the pair take aim and fire at television tropes. The best bit is a perfect pastiche of those terrible Top 100 scissors-and-paste list shows that were once a Channel 4 staple. Crilly and Wix make a good job of skewering the kind of talking-head contributors that no one's ever heard of: "Jane Dudgeon - Remembers Things" and "Jenny Crumb - Had a Column Once". There's a clever Apprentice spoof where contestants talk heightened passive-aggressive nonsense ("Totally with respect because I do respect you") and Ruby Wax guest-stars as herself (the show is directed by her husband Ed Bye).
