British Comedy Guide, 20th October 2023BBC Two orders CGI-Putin chat show
BBC Two will pilot a new comedy chat show hosted by a CGI version of Russian President Vladimir Putin, played by comedian Nathaniel Tapley.
British Comedy Guide, 22nd May 2019Unhateable celebrity lovebirds Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon are the contestants as the gameshow returns. To win cash for charity, Swash and Stace must judge their own and each other's attractiveness, in comparison to random punters and surprise guests. Mildly offensive, but good-humoured and at least it sticks to faces: someone somewhere is surely cooking up a nightmarish cross between this and Naked Attraction.

Daniel Sperling, Digital Spy, 30th December 2013Young comic Rob Beckett to host ITV2's I'm A Celebrity
Rob Beckett is to join jungle spin-off I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here Now!. The comic is replacing Russell Kane and will join hosts Laura Whitmore and Joe Swash when the ITV2 show returns this month.
The Sun, 1st November 2012From Spitting Image to Dead Ringers, satirising powerful public figures through mischievous impressions has been a popular shtick among British comedians. But Channel 4's new sardonically named sketch show, led by able newcomers Morgana Robinson and Terry Mynott, subverts the familiar blueprint. Like Bo Selecta's less surreal cousin, it opts to target C to Z-listers - products of ITV2 celebrity filler, the blogosphere and reality TV.
By design, this is a dangerous game, often relying on an audience obsessed with the kind of inane "celebrity" culture it seeks to send up. So while it's just about possible to relate to a sketch involving ex-EastEnder Natalie Cassidy in a faux reality show called I'm Doing This Now - "just hosing down the bins, really" - a mocked-up musical with Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon falls flat.
Ultimately, it's the humour involving better-known subjects - including uncanny impersonations of Gordon Ramsay and David Attenborough - which keeps Very Important People afloat. It's a brave experiment, taking a deserved swipe at vacuous popular culture norms. But will people see the funny side?
