For anyone that doesn't know, this is making a comeback and from the below trailer looks like it's going to be savage.

 


Will be BritBox and starts this Saturday 3rd October to run for 10 weeks.

 

Of course if you don't have BritBox, it might be available to watch elsewhere, but because I'm such a law abiding citizen, I wouldn't know which apps/apks might have this.

Watched the first episode and ‘meh’ some funny bits, Thunberg weather forecast raised a titter, but the rest is basic. 
 

Without being disparaging it might be great for people who have a fleeting interest in politics as it does drag some of the main players through the satirical lens, but there’s little beyond that.
 

Not real satire, just some silly characters and easy finger pointing.

 

Disappointing.

Disappointing. 

Possibly controversial but I think this is a reasonably accurate description of the original as well. There was less political cynicism then so it felt fresh but ultimately it's probably most suitable for a teenage audience. Now and then

Pretty much what I'd expect. Think I'll give it a swerve.
