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.

I've not actually laughed once so far? must be a good ending do you think!
Kevin Bishop is the so-called actor (doing Farage)
Nasty bit there trying to make him look mean-spirited
Just shows, you can't make a decent comedy by committee (of remoaners)
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 ****.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Who can say the BBC is impartial.
What would be comical would be Cleggy during his coalition days, lying to millions of students and then being destroyed by Farage on the televised debate on the EU., and then Clegg disowned by the country.

at least you know where you stand with Kim Jong-un
this lot are a different level, even though we full well know the
majority voted out we find it appropriate to make a comedy show out of the
main man that won it

The Mock of the week episode which was on straight after that Ron was well chosen as well.It immediately starts off by each lame luvvie comedian taking it in turns to have a pop at Farage on the Di James photo.
Where is the impartiality?
saw the bloke doing his impresson on sunday brunch;good enough reason not to watch it and my decision seems vindicated from feedback on here
not sure a pretty gentle parody of farage is an attack on the 17.5 million people who voted to leave.
my guess would be that a lot of leave voters have little time for the man, and whilst he was instrumental in getting cameron to call the referendum, the idea that it was him, and not Cummings and his gang which tipped it, is pretty fanciful.

I don't follow any political party tbh, but the way Nigel handled the Brexit campaign
that succeeded made me really take a liking to the man.
so to have a supposed comedy show made out of that person seems very unfair,
& it wasn't even one bit funny

If all the leaders were to be subjected to that type of prgramme it would be reasonable. Cant ever see the BBC doing a similar hatchet job on Corbyn,the howls of outrage would be never ending. Typical snide BBC staffers.
soon as i see it advertised treetop alarm bells were ringing.
exactly as i was expecting tbh, lets just test to see what we can force
feed them.

every politician of any relevance is mocked in sketches, cartoons, columns, topical shows and comedies on a near weekly basis.
sure the 30 minute show is a bit more involved, but it was hardly a character assassination.

Deep down ALL leave voters have full respect for Nigel. He is a national treasure.
You don't see Jeremy mocked on the Mock of the Week. Why?

Watched it for a maximum of 30 seconds and I thought this is another BBC left wing attempt at disgracing the wonderful Mr Farage.
As has been said many times below, I've never heard ANYONE from the BBC say a good word about Nigel.
In fact, I stopped watching the BBC news ages ago. Channel 4 news is perhaps even worse than the BBC in their left wing bias!

You think the BBC are left wing ? What planet are you on !!!!

You rare equally deluded. The Tory party control the BBC.

All the main parties think the BBC are against them - they must be doing something right
Forgetting the question of if the BBC is left wing.
It certainly opposed leaving the EU, which has always made it biased against Farage and UKIP.
It would rather bend over backwards to demonise Farage, quote him out of context than to admit he is telling the truth.

This thread is like a forum version of One man and his dog.
It'd be a winner too. All rounded up nicely and put in the pen.

Didn't watch it but farage is by far the best politician in this country ...
you know absolutely what he stands for, he is articulate and speaks in straight lines.
Compare him to, eg, Cameron, Cleggy, May (no idea what she stands for except fancy shoes) Labour politicos (excl Jeremy, I like him because he's leading the socialists somewhere - and I don't think they'll ever come back, but I think he's honest).

I do facts, the prejudice comes from within the production staff who take their lead on so many discussion programmes from The Guardian,a minority paper that would probably go out of business without the public sector sales and advertising it receives. People like Paul Mason who was an economics editor whilst vehemently left wing until he left,the News prorgramme on radio 4, every comedian who appears on the BBC slants the humour against the conservatives whilst giving the left a free ride,however crazy they can be,etc,etc.

treetop - I tend to agree with you - I feel the BBC is more left wing biased than right wing. But it always has been - nothing new there!
what isn't funny is farage was right about so many things
not that he ever got any credit for it
remember the hungarian/romanian 'scaremongering' - he was right about that too

Just watched the first 10 minutes of it and that was enough.
I really wish a television manufacturer would make a television that would have no BBC channels so I wouldn't have to waste my money paying for a licence.

The BBC are dishonest, cowardly and leftist. Anyone who doesn't see that is the same.
The Country needs to take a vote - Yes or No to abolishing the TV licence.
The BBC can go and fund itself.
The BBC can go and fund itself.
yes but then they might ask if they British people understood what yes and no meant and that it should in a representative democracy be for parliament to decide.
It might be nice to have a racist as pm, certainly it is something to consider?
it depends what is meant by left-wing. it's certainly left of the right-wing nutjobs on here
would a racist prime minister be better for Britain? certainly its very possible.
It might be difficult to find someone with the awareness and courage to take up such a difficult task.
step one for any racist pm might be to sack certain members of the BBC such as Gary Lineaker and give him the full time post, unpaid, of helping migrants and refugees.
Who could deny that is a good decision right there? from the new racist pm.

Watched the first ten minutes and undoubtedly was the worst ten minutes of television i have ever witnessed(betting without the Liverpool v Man Utd game a fortnight ago)
watched it for 5 minutes, thats about as much as I could stand. absolute drivel most unfunny thing I've watched ever.
A shameless (and completely unveiled) attempted hatchet job on Farage by the BBC which fails spectacularly. They really really hate him, don't they ?

apparently for political balance the BBC is doing a Christmas Spectacular about Jeremy Corbyn.
In it he appears and plays an old Jesus Christ.
Diane Abbott stars as the Virgin Mary and Ed Balls and Gordon Brown play the part of the 3 wise men.

Would Farage not have had to give his consent for the show?
He had probably seen it and been paid for it..
