You know that tedious old cheesy cliche about the show that you didn't know you needed in your life? Well, it turns out it's true. I've found it. Forget Armstrong and Miller, Mitchell and Webb and all those other smug, Oxbridgey sketch show pretenders and fly-by-nights, it's Ellie White and Natasia Demetriou that I need in my life. Right now. Without further ado.

Their three-part series - why only three we all shout at the top of our voices from the rooftops – is a brilliant, orginal spot-on skewering of modern times, types and tropes. There's the airhead podcasters who seem to think that if they take a common phrase and turn it round they are being profound. Oh and one of their hats changes. Bit of a Vic and Bob touch that. Then there is the duo that review white sliced bread online from their car, a bit chicken shop, a bit like all those blokes that review restaurants on the hoof for TikTok. Except that these women are raving about - did I mention this? – sliced white bread.

I absoilutely loved their inane middle class shopppers who decide everything in a Labour and Wait-style artisan corner shop is "so nice" but after four hours haven't bought anything. It's a bit like Harry Enfield's I Saw You Coming only funnier. Oh and there's the Only Fans women trying to be sexy and make terrible puns at the same time.

There are more conventional sketches too, but with an Ellie and Natasia twist, such as Mary Poppins having an intimate examination only for all sort of things to be extracted, including Dick Van Dyke, played, incidentally, by a famous actor* (don't scroll down if you don't want to know). Other cameos include Jamie Demetriou, surely some relation, and Sian Clifford, with Matt Berry and Asim Chaudhry lined up for later episodes.

I'm not quite sure, however, about their dim East European entrepreneurs, running the sleaziest of businesses, including a night club, from their grimy suburban gaff. I've seen too many places like this to find it funny. Is it punching down? Watch for yourself and decide for yourself. What do I know? 

Ellie & Natasia, Wednesdays from October 21, BBC Two, 10pm. It's all oniPlayer right now if you can't wait.
