Hmm, dipped in didn't like it, muted it, turned the sound up again for the isis wives thing.
Might have to try this again via Iplayer, if I can stick it all the way through, probably some good bits in there.

Not bad - ISIS Housewives was amusing, a few other decent hits esp the Southern Railways sketch and a few misses. Oh yes - the parody of a romantic drama trailer based around falling in love with an on hold voice message was good.

Yes, overall not brilliant but not bad and maybe deserves a second glance.

It's 'The Revolution Will Be Televised' with a slight name change.

More of the same really. Sometimes gets it right other times a bit off the mark.

I liked the woman telling the 'UKIP' rep she would put all the foreigners on an island and shoot them all.
I also liked the Tory selling off council flats to build middle class flats.
The housewives of ISIS
G4S Childcare.

That's right, I just wasn't aware of the previous, had never seen it.

Previous version was award-winning and more often good than bad which makes the namechange all the more baffling along with a drop in sharpness if you ask me.

As mentioned above this is a rebranded Revolution etc, the actors and characters are the same so intriguing why change of name. More hit than miss. Giggled at the wind up on the north London estate; thought the fake Tory was going to get ****ted at one point! Oh and the real housewives of Isis trended on social media 😀

Oh I can see why I didn't like this at first, same reasons I didn't like 'revolution', go about winding up, taking the pee, out of those who don't deserve it, lot of cheapshots.

Probably best if I download it and skip through the sort of skits that'll give me the irrit.

It's worth watching again. The southern rail and the Isis wags was witty. The NHS stuff amusing- surgeon ' scalpel' nurse shakes head 'scissors?" "Nope", patient " I've got a spoon in my bag, you could use the pointy bit"
