A new Channel 4 celebrity impression show starring Morgana Robinson and Terry Mynott promises to turn the table on viewers by satirising a culture "bamboozled by trivia, gossip and regurgitated ideas". The show, called Very Important People, will focus on celebrities such as Perez Hilton, Fearne Cotton, Bear Grylls, Simon Cowell and Adele. Head writer Matt Morgan began writing on another Channel 4 show, Russell Brand's Ponderland. Brand – or at least an impression of him – will also feature heavily in the new series, along with other familiar Channel 4 faces (Noel Fielding, Frankie Boyle) and, er … Barack Obama. The show, which will be made by Running Bare Pictures, the talent-led production arm of John Noel Management, will also take a leaf out of Drop the Dead Donkey's book by filming a topical scene on the week of transmission.
