TV review: The Agency

Channel BBC2:  Time: 10:00pm Monday

Starring Morganna Robinson

A mock documentary set at a fictional talent agency, The Agency sees Morganna Robinson take on the identities of various celebrities and their daily routines. For example Eastenders star Natalie Cassidy takes her Dad to an audition with Morgan Freeman, only for him to talk over the Hollywood star during it. Robinson is certainly one of the best mimics to have emerged in the UK in the last 20 years, her Joanna Lumley is spot on as the one time Purdy in a break from her usual exotic travels makes a documentary at a Premium Inn and at the entertains fellow guests and staff.   Robinson does not limit herself to her own gender, for one example she does Danny Dyer. the star of various critically derided gets news that he has won Rear of the Year much to his delight and prepares it for the ceremony only for his agent to tell him he has won the Bellend of the Year yet he is still delighted and that is Robinson's great skill in making you believe the real Dyer would behave in such a manner. One wishes that Morganna Robinson was given a much higher profile vehicle but I guess we have to make do with The Agency.
