Thought it was very good best he’s done for awhile , although the Elton John Covid-19 performance would take some beating in the comedy stakes. 

I agree, seemed he was revitalised after the time away from the series.

 

Lots of great lines throughout the programme.

If like me you haven’t seen it before it’s from about 1 minute in

 

I’m sure Vic Reeves will be honoured by this impression.

Sounds like he’s having an allergic reaction.

Reading that he has a special programme ' Death to 2020  ' available on Netflix from tomorrow , the 27th. All the usual suspects , Cunk etc , plus a sprinkling of Hollywood celebs , Gwynneth Paltrow and Samuel L Jackson

How long is it on for, 24hrs? He's got a lot of material to work with this year.

Just watched this. Absolutely brilliant. Hugh Grant does a brilliant turn as a Starkeyesque historian and Lisa Kudrow is great as a Trump spokeswoman.  Loads of killer lines like Joe Biden addressing a drive-in rally "with all the vibrant energy of an old man shouting at traffic".

I thought it was pretty lacklustre and didn't really hit the highs of the 'Wipes'. It was an odd mix of American and British topics and I think in going so high budget with so many stars it just lost the impact of Brooker sat in his lounge swearing at the TV.
