For those of you not in the UK or surrounding isles. You may not have heard of or seen this television series. It's a "take the mick out of celebrities" style programe using caricature masks. The masks aren't great likeness' but the humor is all in the way the characters are played.

Here are some of the masks. (pictures aren't great quality): Click the picture for larger version.

(Michael Jackson)

(Ant and Dec. Not sure if they're heard of anywhere other than the UK)

(Christina Aguillera)

(The Osbournes)

(David and Victoria Beckham)

(David Blaine)

(Britney Spears)

(Catherine Zeta Jones and Micheal Douglas)

(Elton John)

(Geri Halliwell. Formally "ginger spice" of the spice girls)

(Craig David. A now outdated UK R&B star)

(Marilyn Manson)

(Mel B. Formally "Scary Spice" of the spice girls)

(Justin Timberlake)

There are more characters, But I was unable to find pictures of them. All the characters are played by one man called Leigh something (I forget his surname).

The show is quite popular in the UK and has just finished its 3rd series.

I just thought I would share this as it is slightly caricature related.

Hope you enjoyed.

Those are very interesting. Can you tell a bit more about the show?

Sure I'm not sure what to say about it though. What would you like to know about it?.

There is also a main character on the show. Without a mask. The character is called Avid Merrion. He is a celeb fanatic and is always "stalking" celebs. He is played well and possibly the most famous character from the show.

There is some video clips here if you would like to see some of the show:

I think it takes a aqquired sense of humor for this show. There is also a lot of "British" humor in there. But I find it funny sometimes, particualy the Michael Jackson clips and the Craig David clips.
