    I've not seen this yet, but he tends to get things spot on.

    Thanks for the heads up, @Redhelen, otherwise this would have passed me by. Looking forward to catching up with it this evening.

    Like an end of year review but on the corona virus. Funny if you like satire.

    I like HaveI got News for you too, and bits are like that but I'd say it was more like spoofs of documentaries or political debate. Have a look and see what you think, he usually does a yearly review show.

    Watched it last night. One of the funniest things I've seen in a longtime.

    Just read that back and it's quite a tongue twister

    Haven't seen the antiviral wipe but I can't say I'm a huge fan of his. Seems like another celebrity luvvie who gets off on other peoples' misery by sitting back, being all high and mighty with the benefit of hindsight. But what do I know?

    Just watched it, Philomena Cunk is brilliant, how on earth do the experts keep a straight face?

    Couldn’t disagree with you more.

    His satire is superb, the Wipes are exceptional TV and his Black Mirror series is one of the greatest things ever put on film.

    Well that's fair enough. I've probably not watched enough of him. As I say, from the clips I've seen of him he's not been for me. Maybe I'm completely wrong!

    Not really one for personal insults, as in mocking people's appearances. He did quite a bit of that about the chief medical officer. Not really fair.

    And that's not to say I'm a snowflake, I love a joke and a jab at one another as much as the next person. Just something doesn't sit right with me about the appearance thing. But oh well, that's probably more my problem haha.

    Must admit I like those segments best. Some experts get a bit annoyed though!
