Limmy – Limmy appears as himself making blunt observations on life and modern culture. These sketches range from short pieces of satire to dancing and complete non-sequitur jokes. On several occasions in series 1 and 2, he criticises
Top of the Pops performances, with himself keyed in over the footage. •

marijuana smoking waster who spends his time doing absolutely nothing but over-analysing trivial things, as well as being overly paranoid about them. •
Raymond Day (series 2–3) – A smug television psychic medium based on
Colin Fry who imparts devastatingly terrible information on particular members of his otherwise happy crowd.

Christopher Mayhew carried out a similar experiment using
