Skinner and Dee - funny men at work
Dee did his bewildered, world-weary thing perfect well, although it could have been genuine - and frankly was not unreasonable given his team mates. The combination of the comedian, pop singer Stine B and TV presenter Anna Richardson was not a comfortable one. At one point, Richardson said she felt like Dee was her dad at a wedding. Yes, I imagine he did too.
Overall, Skinner took a workmanlike approach to the show. He proved to be a decent captain and, most importantly, helped turn the show into more of an ensemble piece - something that's been lacking since Bill Bailey's departure. Let's hope whoever gets the gig has that skill in spades.
