Did Rik Mayall predict Brexit in Believe Nothing?
A clip from a comedy show back in 2002 has resurfaced and its predictions on Brexit have left people speechless. In the footage of the noughties TV show Believe Nothing, Professor Adonis Cnut, played by comedian Rik Mayall, begins concocting a plan with a minister to blame the EU for a recent failed invasion of Cuba.
Adrian Zorzut, The New European, 2nd October 2020On to Believe Nothing (ITV1), Rik Mayall's new vehicle (and I'll leave a pause here for you to insert the quad-bike/vehicle joke of your choosing), which I rather enjoyed, even though (judging by episode one) it's not particularly funny. It's heartening to see a new, mainstream sitcom so completely hell-bent on being just plain silly.
