It's upset Farage 😆

Excellent.
Oh it's Matt Berry, it's funny and it has tons of unnecessary swearing and the funniest bicycle scene I've seen (in Ep2 iirc). They're are some minor reasons in comparison.

Didn't need any more reasons to watch it as it's excellent anyway, but I'll be looking out for this tonight.

Farage really is a ****t isn't he.

He sure is. Can you imagine the phone call.. "Hi Nige, have you heard of Year of the Rabbit?"
"No"
"Well they have this character in it called..."

Worth watching What we do in the shadows too. Matt Berry really is great.

Freedom of speech and belief is not subject to approval by a transitory authority. It is absolute or it is nothing. Such was and remains my conviction. And oh, it has got me into some delicious trouble.

Yes but freedom of speech is for making racist comments and being smug, not for some leftie media types making fun of him. Hopefully they have a series of characters based on him getting killed off every week now.

Has there been the usual uproar on social media about non-white characters in a show set in historic England? I've not seen any. Perhaps it's only being shown in the UK, so not on the international stirrers' radar. They'll know about it now…

Anyway, enjoying it… not as good as Toast… or What We Do In The Shadows… but that then little is…

I'd put it up there with Toast. And much better than ..the Shadows series - didn't work for me, stretched the joke too far.

I think I preferred shadows, but Rabbit is still great!

Yes they are Chewkw and so they should be. Although I'll admit Farage makes it a bit too easy.

There needs to be a concerted effort to make fun of the likes of Farage and Trump as they really cannot take it. A constant daily barrage would have them frothing to the point where they would start to say things even they may not get away with so easily. They really do need to be continually wound up.

And the Mighty Boosh.

Love the boyfriend sketches on Snuff Box, the one where he punts the old boy's dog as he's running past pops to mind every time I see one being walked.

Don't forget Beef on House of Fools.

To be fair, he does just seem to play Matt Berry in all his roles but he's consistently funny doing that.

I reckon Farage loves this sort of thing, because his entire business model is about "Brand Farage". This just gives him another bit of exposure be doesn't deserve.
