The Impressions Show with Culshaw and Stephenson

Characters

The show regularly parodied The One Show, with Culshaw as Adrian Chiles and Stephenson as Christine Bleakley. They opened the programme by recounting bizarre and inhumane events of the week in the style of the real show, and the segment usually ended with Adrian saying "But first this..." to lead into other sketches. This scene appeared two or three times per episode. For series 3, Culshaw and Stephenson played Chris Evans and Alex Jones instead.

Another recurring sketch was Ross Kemp on Gangs, which began with Kemp describing a gang he was about to encounter. Unlike the real show, he typically referred to groups with no aggressive tone, such as Brownies, and would leave within thirty seconds saying "I could see it was about to kick off; so I got out of there!" He would later return to the same innocent groups and react identically. Sir Alan Sugar in the office depicted goings-on in Sir Alan's office, with sketches including the firing of Del Boy and Rodders in episode 1 and Mr. Bean in episode 5.

Ray Mears' Survival Guide featured Mears discovering and describing new foods to eat while surviving in the jungle. He would show two similar pieces of food, one poisonous and one not, and often confused them, eating the poisonous one before the cameraman could warn him. Autumnwatch parodied the real show, with Stephenson as Kate Humble and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall as a new presenter who ruined Humble's introductions by killing and eating the animals being shown.

Davina McCall and Claudia Winkleman were portrayed as female presenters who regularly bumped into each other and engaged in activities involving a choice between two options; in the excitement, both would pass out with heavy enthusiastic breathing. New Doctor Who auditions featured celebrities such as Bruce Forsyth, Amy Winehouse, Nick Knowles, Philip Glenister as DCI Gene Hunt, Peaches Geldof, Michael Winner, and Ricky Gervais auditioning for the role of Doctor Who.
