The premise

Here’s the bit.

An upbeat presenter welcomes his costumed friends to his colorful house, but a bank letter and two repossession workers interrupt the routine. The furniture performers question why they have never seen cameras and demand to leave. As Toby keeps forcing the conversation back into children’s-show activities, he admits that the costumes serve a very different purpose when the performers are asleep.
