    Fatiha was hilarious on the recent Big Fat Quiz, and judging by that clip is not going to be taking any of Alex’s shit :D

    It’ll be interesting to see Jason Mantzoukas in a whole season of something, he’s always amazing when he shows up as the hilariously disruptive force in whatever show he’s in (think Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place).

    Mathew, Rosie and Stevie I don’t know at all.

      Fatiha didn’t click for me at all in the quiz to the point that I didn’t finish it. Just something with her didn’t click for me at all.

      But that was also true for Rosie Jones whom I deeply adored after two episodes - I’m so looking forward to getting my mind blown away once more!

        She definitely seems to have a sort of aggressive indifference that definitely wouldn’t click with everyone.

        In a longer series run, whether it looks like she’s playing a character or herself might be the difference between success and failure. The prize and live tasks - as always - would be the great deciders.

    I know 3/5, Mantzoukas, Martin and Baynton should all be great. If you can stomach X still, seek out Martin’s short skits there, those are great.

    I love Jason Mantzoukas as he always seems to be a wild card in the roles he plays.

    It’ll be interesting to see if that carries through into his performances here.

    As I’m an American, I really don’t know the others yet. It’s been quite fun to watch some of the contestants work and then revisit a series later.

      Mathew Baynton is great. I recommend watching the UK series Ghosts to get an idea of him. Horrible Histories is pretty good too, especially if you’ve got young-ish kids, or just want to learn some history in the most disgusting ways possible.
