Duties were to design and print on the lead charcters, Brian, shirts. Sue would give a design brief and karen would use photoshop to create digital images varying in colour and scale and print these onto bespoke dyed shirts.

Other duties were to make costumes for other members of the cast, including dresses, hats, aprons and costume prop items, for example dress and capes made of out kitchen foil for Sophie and CJ.

These were used in action shots as they were playing super hero so the outfits had to be durable to last through the filming of the sketch.

On one episode Sophie had designed to collect  costume dressed aubergines as  decorative ornaments, Karen created Elizabeth the first, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and Ozzy Osborne costumes for the aubergines.
