This year would have provided rich pickings for satire if only it hadn't been so hopelessly tragic. The cruel and relentless spate of celebrity deaths hasn't helped much, either. Still, Rhys Thomas, co-creator of 2014 mock docum The Life Of Rock With Brian Pern, is as qualified as anyone to have a crack. In this show, he seamlessly re-edits film and TV footage from 2016 to create an alternative and welcome take on a wretched annus.
