Looks like this years decor for the house might be gothic themed? So he’s matched that?

Victorian decor is gothic decor non the less. But Dracula was late 1800’s so would make sense he’s put the two together

Omg I absolutely LOVE mr swallow. I can completely see how he is a certain taste but he is hands down one of my favourite acts on countdown. And he’s from the same county as me which is why I probably like him even more lol

HAHAH bets on how many times he trips over / traps his cloak in things? 😂 highly impractical

Tim Robins and Joanne McNally are mainly known for their standup. I don’t know much about Sophie myself, but she’s a comedian/actor. Nick Mohammed is star of ‘Ted Lasso’ and ‘Intelligence’ TV shows, part of the magic circle and does quite a few appearances on 8 out of 10 cats as Mr Swallow (he has a very unique comedic style) but he’s amazing! I can’t wait to see if he uses magic in the tasks. And as for Steve Pemberton he has been around for years and does a-lot of comedic TV shows. And again has a very unique comedic style. I’d recommend watching some of ‘The League Of Gentleman’ as it sums his work up beautifully. He is one very strange talented man and I can’t wait to see what unhinged antics he does for the tasks.

From what I’ve seen of Joanne in standup, she is very to the point and looks like she could be impulsive and act before she thinks. A little like Kerry Godliman

I upvoted it back up for you lol because I wonder the same thing. Everyone seems to hate mr swallow but I would fucking love for him to make a appearance

He will have an advantage with the magic for sure! Magicians have to figure things out and how they slot into place for a living. Even when he is mr swallow and dissects things such as the 12 days of Christmas and the intellect behind it… it’s very Alex Horne really. So yeah I don’t think Alex is going to have a easy run making tasks for him
