Having seen every episode of SNL UK, I can give my assessment on who I think has really made their mark on this show and who is lagging behind. Those weekly graphs that get posted on Reddit after every episode don't really paint a full picture of who's really dominating because a cast member can rack up large chunks of screen time by simply appearing as a supporting player in someone else's sketch.

1. George Fouracres - Without a doubt, the breakout of the show. Has dominated the show from day one and has been tasked with carrying more sketches than any other cast member. Really gifted performer. Almost like Will Ferrell-esque dominance right out of the gate.
2. Emma Sidi and Celeste Dring - These two women are almost performing like a tag-team, with one or the other almost always playing the female lead and have had sketches centered around both of them frequently. I would call it a tie in terms which female has the strongest presence on the show
3. Hammed Animashaun - has certainly been used frequently over the course of the season , always popping up a lot in sketches. Definitely talented. I think the consensus is that people find Fouracres, Dring, Sidi and maybe Jack Shep to be funnier and he's rarely anyone's #1 on the show. Has done well being seen in lots of sketches though.
4. Jack Shep & Al Nash - these guys seem to only be appearing in modest amounts in sketches - not too much, not too little. Everyone loved Shep from the get-go because of his Diana impression but his screen time tended to diminish a bit after that.
5. Ayoade Bamgboye and Annabel Marlowe - these women appear to have received smaller screen time than everyone else (not including Larry Dean or the Weekend Update pair). Perhaps they are just being crowded out by Sidi and Dring? They tend to appear more in supporting roles rather than have sketches center around them. The only sketch that I can recall where Bamgboye was the sole center of the sketch was that filmed soccer star mockumentary sketch where everyone in her past suddenly emerged.
6. Larry Dean - Only in the last couple weeks has he started to get more screen time with the Daniel Day Lewis sketch and Weekend Update segment. Other than that, he really is getting the short shrift here among all the cast members. Even when you thought he would get the spotlight playing Charles, that sketch became more about Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and whoever Jack Shep was playing.
