Prunella Minge	I didn't like any of them, to be honest. Maybe my conception of 'celebrity' is a tad fussy. The Bruce Forsyth impressions were ironic, because Barrymore reminded me of that Peter Cook moment during Derek and Clive where he did the Brucie voice while banging on a piano: 'Oh, I can't sing and I can't dance!' Barrymore now multi-tasks at a wide variety of kinds of pathetic ineptitude. Anthea looked like an over-moisturised Bride of Wildenstein. Now I know that most of Dave Lamb's funny lines are scripted for him I didn't even enjoy the narration as much as usual. It's a clever format to fill up an hour, but the 'celeb' episodes don't really work.
Foz	I found Barrymore's 'sad faced comic' demeanour a bit irritating - it was telling that he did his best to ruin everyone else's dinner party except his own. I suppose you can probably blame the behaviour on his fragile mental condition.
steveimp	The only one of the four that is coming across as normal and natural, and actually a nice person. Barrymore just playing for the cameras - his John Cleese act was tired in the 90s let alone now, Pat Sharp just dull and Anthea Redfern looking like a Thunderbirds puppet left too near a radiator.
