Did anyone see Dead Ringers on BBC 2 last night?
It was an American Election Special, very Anti-Bush (which I liked to see), and very very funny
.
They did an hilarious parody of The West Wing - conversations through endless corridors, swapping from character to character mid sentence, whilst explaining how the US Electoral Collage system works (or doesn’t work, to be precise!)
They ended the sketch with Charlie saying something patriotic, which started typically stirring end-of-episode music playing in the background, and then the CJ impersonator started blaming Charlie for encouraging the music and grabbed a pair of earplugs.
I know, it probably loses something in my translation - I'm not really a comedy writer, I'm an engineer; but it was VERY funny at the time, honest.
