To Cut A Long Story Short?

After The Kemps: All True, no one could still doubt that we were living in the golden age of spoof factual programming.

Within that, the actress who plays Anneliese Dodds deserves every award going. How have we never seen her in anything before, since she is obviously in her fifties?

But the writers need to make the material a bit subtler. They are clearly students, or very recent graduates. Even so, though, the Dodds character is very, very funny.

And who is the Shadow Chancellor in real life? Is there one these days? Does anyone know? Or care? After all, the Budget of March 2020 has ended the era that began with the Budget of 1976. The Centre is the think tank for this new era. It already has plenty going on.
