Dead Ringers - Series 20-23 Plus Specials
A collection of four series of the award-winning satirical show - plus 12 Christmas specials.
With its wickedly funny mimicry and on-point parodies, Dead Ringers became an instant classic when it hit the airwaves in January 2000. In these four series, first broadcast between 2020 and 2023, the team give us their inimitable impersonations of the famous and infamous: from Donald Trump and Joe Biden to Liz Truss, Professor Chris Whitty and Holly Willoughby.
Finding the comedy in Covid, they take on social distancing, the test and trace system, masks and R numbers. There's a special maths lesson from Matt Hancock, a fight between Good Boris and Bad Boris about when lockdown should start, and a covert recording of Dominic Cummings - as well as tips from Dr Michael Mosley on how to stay healthy in post-pandemic Britain.
Plus, Keir Starmer shows the nation his Ramsay MacDonald in Naked Attraction, Rishi Sunak contracts a nasty dose of the 1970s, we learn the explicit secrets of Jacob Rees-Mogg's OnlyFans account and we're introduced to some surprising new contestants in Love Island. Angela Rayner has some unusual items for The Repair Shop, The Archers is revamped for Gen Z, the cost of living crisis hits Ready Steady Cook - and there's a treat for anyone who's ever watched a Wes Anderson film and wondered why.
Also featured are twelve fantastic festive specials, including a compilation episode in which Jon Culshaw and Jan Ravens join Dead Ringers creator and producer Bill Dare to present a selection of the funniest Party Leader sketches since 2014, when David Cameron vs Ed Miliband was the only show in town.
