Husband and wife presenting team Judy Finnigan and Richard Madeley are imitated by Victoria Wood and Duncan Preston, as married couple "Sally Cumbernauld" and "Martin Crossthwaite" and even This Morning's famous set at the Albert Dock in Liverpool is replicated. Finnigan and Madeley later revealed they loved Wood's spoof of them.
