The year is 2046 and we drop in on the state of Downing Street. Prime Minister Nigel Farage (Peter Serafinowicz) and Kemi Badenoch (Ayoade Bamgboye) are visited by Prime Ministers of the past, Sir Keir Starmer (George Fouracres), Sir Winston Churchill (Al Nash) and Angela Rayner (Celeste Dring). Watch Saturday Night Live UK, on Sky & NOW.
It all comes down to this weekend. Of course, we're talking about the season finale of Sky and NOW's SNL UK . Though it feels good to know the 12-show second season will kick off in September, there's that whole summer break to deal with.
But before that happens, we have host Ncuti Gatwa and musical guest Holly Humberstone on tap for the big season ender. That brings us to the SNL UK midweek sketch… that, for copyright purposes, has absolutely nothing to do with the BBC's Doctor Who in any way, shape, or form. That being said, Gatwa learns firsthand how SNL UK gets its hosts: through regeneration .
In fact, Emma Sidi and Larry Dean admit to Gatwa that there are only really two SNL UK cast members – though their demonstration doesn't go off quite as planned: Image: Sky Screencaps SNL UK Cold Open Tackles Starmer/Elections; Serafinowicz as Farage With only two shows to go for the first season of SNL UK and the 51st season of SNL this past weekend, we were down to two cold opens each before both shows shut down for the summer. With that in mind, how did SNL UK kick off the season's penultimate episode?
With none other than actor/comedian Peter Serafinowicz Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Set twenty years in the future, 2046 finds Serafinowicz's Farage as Prime Minister – in a world where Donald Trump is now known as 'King Trump.
' Image: Sky Screencaps After enjoying a frosty pint, we learned that Farange's party and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch's had joined forces, resulting in a lovefest that sees Badenoch serving as deputy. The duo rattle off jokes that took aim at London's mass deportations, the growing hantavirus problem, and a fun dig at 'King Trump' and his constant reassurances that he's this close to a ceasefire that would open the Strait of Hormuz.
From there, George Fouracres's PM Keir Starmer and Celeste Dring's Angela Rayner make the scene. It seems Starmer needed a bit of time travel to convince him he should resign after how badly Starmer's Labour Party fared in recent local elections. Otherwise, this would be the future.
And don't think that SNL UK doesn't know how to twist the knife in-house, with a newspaper during the cold open, noting that the show had been renewed for a third season, twenty years after the second season.
'Wow, a big delay. Series 2 must have been rough,' Dring's Rayner noted. From there, Al Nash's time-displaced Winston Churchill appears, leading the threesome to drop the soon-to-be-classic 'Live from London, it's Saturday Night! ' kick-off.
