Make plans to watch this.

I’m not a fan of Nigel Farage and I certainly don’t share his views, but only a fool would deny that he is an extraordinary politician. Without even being an MP, he has altered the course of British politics forever. A charismatic speaker (aren’t they all?), he employed astonishing levels of hard graft and immense personal courage to force David Cameron into calling a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, with the express purpose of getting Britain out. And he achieved his objective. Like him or loathe him, those are the facts. And tonight on BBC2, my friend Kevin Bishop stars in BBC2’s political satire Nigel Farage Gets His Life Back. The omens are good. Kevin is a brilliant comedy actor and caricaturist. So his impression of Farage will be a lot better than Robbie’s impression of XTC.
