I thought I would give the SNL UK version a go. And I did try, kept watching even though it wasn't just unfunny to me, it was painfully bad (and some very bad taste: "I'm David Attenborough, and it's just a matter of time". Not funny, just terrible).

Stuck with it, did not improve. I'm sure some will have enjoyed it, and that's fine, but it certainly wasn't for me, the jokes were flatter than a topographical map of a snooker table.

I've long found that the humour of the U.S.A. Saturday Night Live does not translate well.

The only way that this worked was back in the #BenElton and #HarryEnfield days of Saturday Live, which didn't cling strictly to the U.S.A. format or tone; which I think was *why* it worked.

"Bit of politics!" "Loadsamoney!"
