Alexander Armstrong appears in more comedy guises as the sketch show continues

Two men in white robes sweeping the floor just need to double-check that severing all connections with family and selling all assets doesn't mean that they're part of some kind of cult, as the quirky comedy sketch show continues. The Second World War pilots question whether being forced to eat powdered egg is actually abuse. And, when a middle-aged raver is recognised by the DJ as Mr Wilkinson from work, he begins to regret popping those extra pills.

When a man is offered a lettuce upgrade on his laptop, it's too good an offer to refuse – until he spots the latest carrot upgrade. As undercover spies psych themselves up to burst out of the van and free hostages, they realise that their reasonable boss has diverted the van to Bowl-la-rama in Watford for some team motivation.

And, when Dennis Lincoln Park finds himself 60ft below the streets of London to uncover a perfectly preserved Roman mural, his discovery soon comes to an abrupt end.

Olivia Colman stars as Debbie in Beautiful People

Reading 1998: Simon Doonan has a dream – the dream that one day, he and his best friend, Kyle, aka Kylie, will leave suburban Reading and move to London to be with the Beautiful People. But first of all, they have to wade through their teenage years, brave their extraordinary families and cope with small-town Britain in the Nineties.

Fortunately, home for Simon is far from dull. For the Doonans, every day is an adventure which usually ends either in hospital or at the police station, and nearly always at the bottom of a bottle of homemade chicken and mushroom wine. On top of that, family and friends all feel the need to burst into song at the slightest opportunity.

Bottle-blonde mum, Debbie, and her Irish husband, Andy, fight fiercely to protect not just Simon but also his "ghetto princess" sister, 16-year-old Ashlene. Debbie's best friend, "aunty" Hayley, lives under the same roof and her blindness doesn't stop her driving, looking for love and reliving her protesting days at Greenham Common.

In episode one, it is 2009 and, somewhat older and newly broken-hearted, Simon returns to Reading and recalls a school project that led to him unearthing a terrible secret about his parent's marriage and his sister revealing some devastating news. Warning: tonight's programme contains several wedding scenes and an Enya tribute band.

Debbie Doonan is played by Olivia Colman, Andy by Aidan McArdle, Aunty Hayley by Meera Syal, older Simon by Samuel Barnett, young Simon by Luke Ward-Wilkinson, Kylie by Layton Williams and Ashlene by Sophie Ash.

Beautiful People is inspired by the memoirs of New York fashionista Simon Doonan and written by Jonathan Harvey. The glitzy glimpse at suburban fabulousness took the Best Comedy Award at this year's Banff TV Festival and has already sold in the US.
