Revolting: Isis sketch courageous, rest is lamentable
It's as if two teams were involved in making the show: Team Bold, and Team Utter Predictable BBC Crap.
James Delingpolee, The Spectator, 19th January 2017Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein's trite, derivative prankster satire trundles on. In tonight's instalment, some Scots are unsurprisingly irritated by being called drunken savages. Britain First's Paul Golding is revealed to be a paranoid Islamophobe (hold the front page!). And, in a sketch that has the feel of someone attacking a tank with a spud gun, spoof tabloid hack Dale Maily (take that, Dacre!) pointlessly harasses some BBC employees. Lame.
