BBC Two – Morgana Robinson's The Agency

The premise of the programme is that Vincent has allowed a documentary crew access to his celebrity clients, including Miranda Hart, Natalie Cassidy, Russell Brand, Joanna Lumley, Gregg Wallace, Mel and Sue, Danny Dyer and Adele, all of whom are played by Robinson.[1] Critical reception was largely positive.[2]

The shows additional cast members include Oliver Maltman, Terry Mynott, Matthew Steer, Cariad Lloyd and Matt Berry.

Reception

Robinson has received praise for her impersonations. Lucy Mangan of The Guardian says the programme "is just what we need in this strife-strewn year."[3] In comparing it to Rory Bremner's political satire which he describes as "sharp", Mat Baylis of the Daily Express describes the show as "sharp, too, but in a less appealing way."[4]The Telegraph rated it three stars out of five.[5]
