In episode one, Skinner’s character, bumbling British lord Hugo Cavendish-Smyth, is seen greeting his fiancée in a cream linen suit and suave tortoise-shell sunglasses, and he’s later seen lounging in a glittery dressing gown.“It was a sensational look,” laughs Skinner, 35, showing me his new haircut over Zoom from his flat in Brixton.
