I'm not sure whether i should watch it out of principle,
i can see him coming across as very racist reading the guardian report the actor playing Farage apparently says "i know he's a racist" The trickiest part of becoming the Ukip figurehead, though? Learning how not to detest him. “When I was first asked to play Farage, I hated him so much. I just thought: ‘He’s a racist and there’s nothing charming about this guy whatsoever!’” offers Bishop. “But I watched a lot of footage of him, and unlike all our career politicians he comes across as though he genuinely believes in what he’s doing, rather than trying to climb a greasy political pole... Not that I’m going to vote for him any time soon.” Yet seeing the actor on TV this morning he never come across as saying anything like that. surely it would be much funnier to do a comedy about Diane Abbott |

Satirical comedy, starring Kevin Bishop as the UKIP leader. A fly-on-the-wall documentary crew follow Farage in the aftermath of the EU referendum and his subsequent resignation as leader of UKIP, claiming that he wants to return to normal life. Adamant that he does not miss the limelight and never wanted to be prime minister, Farage tries to adjust to a routine away from the public eye, filling his days with television, trips to the pub, a new friend in the shape of Donald Trump, and the fresh challenge of growing a moustache

I could probably laugh at it if it wasn't being done by the BBC.

Sir Nigel has said that he is nervous about the show, but will be watching it.
The BBC have tried so hard to demonise Sir Nigel, this is bound to be another attempt. Is there anyone on the BBC payroll that admires Sir Nigel? Considering nigh on 18 million voted to Leave, 52 % of voters, surely someone on their payroll must give him a pat on the back. Or is it prerequisite to think Sir Nigel is a racist and quote him out of context? Anyway, i am sure that the show wlll be way off the mark but hopefully entertaining. |

Actor is laughing too much
|
|
By:
Not laughing at all, actually finding it more funny that
you can imagine Facts & co sitting there p!ssing themselves laughing  |
|
By:
Yes....a bit rubbish
They should give Nigel his own show....would be much funnier |
|
By:
Smearing him as racist (trying)

By:
Think i've seen enough

By:
that's exactly it Leo.
They're just testing the water |

By:
I've not actually laughed once so far? must be a good ending do you think!

Utter sh1te!

Was thinking the same Leo, it's a car crash.

Bishop?
is Bishop to do with the pro? |
|
By:
Yes Ron, he is the tosspot impersonator
|
|
By:
Kevin Bishop is the so-called actor (doing Farage)
|
|
By:
its so awful its beyond belief
|
|
By:
Nasty bit there trying to make him look mean-spirited
|
|
By:
I was thinking John Bishop |
|
By:
Just shows, you can't make a decent comedy by committee (of remoaners)
|

By:
Was that deliberately bad?
If it was better produced, with more intelligent script writing and a more accurate performance from Bishop would that have actually endeared more people to Nigel? So they deliberately made a crock of ****. |
|
By:
BBC 2 straight on to Mock Of the Week and straight into mocking Farage on that Diane James kiss/wince photo.
The BBC have it bad. Farage has really kicked them where it hurts. |
|
By:
ok.
I thought it was a good, well studied, impression. But, the cricket team thing at the end was unnecessary and spoiled what was otherwise a pretty well observed gentle parody of his narcissism. |

Yes....Switched to Peston on 3

By:
Its so bad it's the sort of thing someone would put on You-tube to see
what people thought of it. 0 out of 10 from start to finish for me. Very disrespectful & unneeded towards Nigel i thought - to think we have to pay to watch this absolute sh1te |
|
By:
Was it supposed to be funny ? Dire.
|
|
By:
There you go, if even Facts says it wasn't funny how many people would
|

You must be easily pleased DStyle. |

It's a totally embarrassing attempt to test the water to see if they
can go against the 52% that voted leave & attract some sort of comedy, why on earth would you even consider doing that. The man done an absolute fantastic job but the Luvvies @ the BBC want to make a comedy show out of him. he must be without doubt the best spoke politician the UK has. Cameron or Blair would easily be better candidates to rip the p1ss out of for starters, so why pick on someone who's just been part of one of the best things to happen to Britain in a long while  |

By:
Those 17.5 million Leave voters are also funders of the BBC.
Also every BBC comedian on the panel shows is happy to rip Farage apart to fake laughter. Not one of them will say anything positive about Farage or Brexit, even though 17.5 million BBC funders supported it. Barring those who dodge their licence fee. |
