Ncuti Gatwa, Emma Sidi, and Holly Humberstone host and musical guest for SNL UK's first season finale, with a promo featuring Gatwa and SNL UK cast during a table read and a cold open tackling Starmer/elections with Peter Serafinowicz as Farage.
With Sky and NOW's SNL UK wrapping up its first season this weekend with host Ncuti Gatwa and musical guest Holly Humberstone , we've got our host and musical guest checking in with their on-stage promo.
For this go-around, SNL UK star Emma Sidi joins the duo, hitting Gatwa with the kind of line that his Fifteenth Doctor usually gets… Image: Sky Screencaps Here's a look at today's SNL UK promo, followed by a look back at the week and to last weekend's cold open: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saturday Night Live UK Here's a look at Gatwa and the SNL UK cast during Wednesday evening's table read, followed by a look back at the midweek sketch: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saturday Night Live UK 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, 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: 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.
