Tracey Breaks the News

5 reviews
9/10

Hilarious.

There is no limit to this woman's talent!! Political satire seems pretty much a thing of the past, but with all that's happening in Westminster, it shouldn't be. The wonderfully versatile Ullman shows her versatility performing a well known range of stars. Some of the best include Nicola Sturgeon, her almost Bond villain recreation of Sturgeon is hilarious, with wee Marie in toe. Her Jeremy Corbyn has been a revelation, the makeup is utterly incredible, you'd have a job to see it wasn't him. I personally love the little office shared by the two Liberal Democrats, so funny. My personal favourite is Chancellor Merkel, her beige babe, and her Theresa May is great too, she has the awkwardness down to a T. More please. Tracy if you're reading this please attempt a Boris Johnson!

Love it. 9/10

Sharp and Daring!

Finally, the return of British satire at its proper pi$$-taking best! Not since "Spitting Image" has a program been so observant and hilarious. No one is safe: liberals, conservatives, not even poor Melaniabot (the Melania Trump robot, created by Russian spies). Only Tracey Ullman could make Theresa May a somewhat sympathetic character with her deer in the headlights persona. Brilliant from start to finish!

Funniest thing on British TV

This is the funniest show on British TV. Hard-hitting, unflinching, dishes out evenly to both political parties and their appalling inadequacies. Tracey Ullman is on top of her game: the imitations of Theresa May, Angela Merkel, Brigitte Macron and Jeremy Corbyn are top-rate. The writing is intelligent and the delivery is pitch- perfect.

Painfully bad.

Terrible impressions, unfunny script and all in all yet another sad example of how low BBC,indeed British comedy has fallen since the 90's.

The BBC seems to commission programmes not because of how funny they are but to meet it's desperate need to seem inclusive.

Doesn't matter if people aren't funny or talented they must have gender diverse or ethnic backgrounds.

The fact they are re-making porridge sums it all up. Rather than repeating a classic let's rehash it. Badly.

The only comedy worth watching on the BBC now is Dads Army....nearly fifty years old.

Desperation.

UK TV Gold here I come.

Superb!

Tracey Ullman is back with a vengeance in this new comedy series! Nothing is off-limits, no one is safe! This is arguably the best satirical comedy since "Spitting Image." As many comedians get softer with age, Tracey just gets bolder and edgier. She is, in the words of Dame Judi Dench, a national treasure!
