The sketches are usually about public figures, many of whom reappear regularly and have distinctively exaggerated or fanciful characterisations.

For instance, the ex-prime minister ’ s wife Norma Major, as voiced by Whitfield, seemed to bear an uncanny resemblance to Eth, her character in The Glums, a widely-remembered segment in the 1950s series Take It From Here.

Certain members of the royal family ( a Huddlines staple ) are likewise not copied from life, such as The Queen Mother, who was portrayed with a Cockney accent.
