Overview

Each week, two teams (captained by Rory Bremner and Debra Stephenson) go head-to-head re-enacting iconic movie scenes, revoice news footage, cover songs and celebrity voiceovers. The impressions bring celebrities - such as Donald Trump and Holly Willoughby, Boris Johnson and Adele, and Russell Brand and Mary Berry - together into unexpected situations.[1]

gollark: JS has surprisingly good FP utilities and there are libraries for more.
gollark: Well, Rust is designed along functionalish lines.
gollark: Functional, mostly>
