Season 1 · Episode 1
Tonight's double-bill kicks off with the girls as four Russell Brands busking for cash and fighting over some chicken in a bin.
In this show, the Rural Madonnas perform a lewd maypole dance; Queen Elizabeth I claims she's 'done it loads', as the virgin jibes fly; and Sarah manages to pop out both her eye-balls to prove a point about novelty jokes.
The four George Michaels get up to some mischief in the park; Clare gets a special robot; Marilyn Monroe applies for a job flipping burgers; and we enter the not so fragrant world of the flatulent Geishas.
This time round the four Amy Winehouses launch a rescue mission, Charlie's Angels style; the obnoxious South African air hostesses are back to foil a hijack attempt; Barunka and Sarah drill a peephole through to the boys toilets and we see what makes the Sex and the City cast really tick.
Abba get the Beehive treatment, Alice catches a fatal dose of boy germs, Nicole Kidman pops up with a dirty song and The Elephant Man has Sky+ issues with his flatmate Emma.

Asylum is a British comedy series which was shown on Paramount Comedy Channel in 1996. Set in a mental asylum, it ran for one series of six episodes. Unlike traditional sitcoms or comedy television shows, it was to some extent an opportunity for stand-up routines by various comedians, mixed with an overall story involving much black humour. It is significant for involving a large number of British comedians, many who have gone on to work on some of the most successful comedy programmes of the last decade. It marked the first collaboration of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson, who would go on to make cult sitcom Spaced. Many of the characters names were the same as those of the actors who portrayed them. David Devant & His Spirit Wife were the "house band" for the series, performing segments in every episode, from their first album, Work, Lovelife, Miscellaneous. The lead-in track "Ginger" served as the programme's title music. The series has yet to be released on DVD; however, the full episodes are viewable on Norman Lovett's website.
