I was trying to keep an open mind despite all the criticism, as many people were writing the obituary last Wednesday.
Was SNL UK perfect? No but it was never going to be a finished article, & you’re never going to get every sketch to land. we often forget that big British TV successes didn’t start amazingly either Clarkson, Hammond & May admit they didn’t really find their chemistry or the format until the 4th or 5th series.
The opener with Starmer, the Attenborough's Last Supper, & Weekend Update were all very enjoyable bits for me.
im happy to give an extra week. but I do wonder how long it’ll be before I look at George Fouracres and don’t just see Bob Mortimer
