Dead Ringers	comment	Starting off on radio in 2000, this impression-based sketch show became a TV series in 2002. Jon Culshaw is its main star. The radio series originally ended in 2005 (barring a one-off special in 2007 to mark the resignation of Tony Blair), and the TV version was quietly cancelled in 2007. After a long absence it returned to radio in July 2014.Not related to the David Cronenberg film Dead Ringers or its television remake.

Dead Ringers / int_12e8e69b	type	Jekyll & Hyde
Dead Ringers / int_12e8e69b	comment	Jekyll & Hyde: A newly "nice" Michael Gove gets torn between his new persona and the old, vindictive backstabbing "bad" Gove. Bad Gove wins out. Boris Johnson becomes split between Good Boris (or at least sane Boris) and Bad Boris. The former tries to at least present himself as charming and reasonable, whereupon the later bursts into the room, spouts off gibberish and says whatever comes to mind, which is usually inflammatory or offensive. Then it turns out Winston Churchill had the same problem, though Bad Churchill is less of a Talkative Loon than Bad Boris, and both Churchills agree that he's awful.

Abbott is introduced with a greater degree of incredulity each time. One of the first sketches about the Thirteenth Doctor has her talking to her friends, "and Bradley Walsh, for some reason." Newcasts introducing Matt Hancock tend to do so like this... only without the "friends" part, such as calling him "that guy in the stag party you don't remember inviting".

The radio version also sent up Radio 4's continuity announcers, in particular, how they come up with hilariously tenuous links between the programmes preceding and following them, often based on a pun.

The Newsnight Review segments have the reviewers criticizing The Cat in the Hat, then speaking in Dr. Seuss-esque rhyme as they describe just how much they didn't like the film, or criticizing the selfish and unpleasant contestants of Celebrity Big Brother, then acting exactly like them ("they just talk about themselves all the time. Would I do that? Me? Talk about myself? Would I do that?") Jeremy and Diane's Labour Podcast has a bad run when DIANE ABBOTT keeps reacting instinctively to statements Corbyn makes that apply just as well to him. Gardener's Question Time reassures the audience it's a safe-refuge from the constant Brexit tedium... then the panel get into a no-confidence vote. One sketch has the Downton Abbey movie scolding The Crown for playing fast and loose with historical accuracy. Then it engages in some serious Anachronism Stew of its own.

It doesn't make much of a difference to Andrew Neil, however. Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinard become utterly terrified of mentioning the UEFA final just in case they somehow jinx England's luck, and demand Garry Lineker not say a word.

Ross Kemp imitating an Australian feminist results in Ross acting like a feminist. Two minutes with Sajid Javid constantly mentioning his father's occupation is enough to get Kirsty Wark to tell him "awa' and boil yer heid, ya bawbag!" Sir David Attenborough calling a bunch of plastic bottles clogging up the oceans "bellends" after Danny Dyer interrupts Blue Planet to do the same. He admits it's pretty satisfying.

John Prescott is so unintelligible that when a scheme is introduced to fill him so full of pies and chips that he can't speak, Kirsty Wark declares it the most popular decision he'd ever make, something Prescott agrees on. Newsnight Review runs into a problem when the hosts are not unintelligible enough, despite their best efforts. Boris Johnson, who tends to pepper his speech with odd noises and gibberish. Garry Lineker sums this up as Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinand's role on Match of the Day, talking utter bollocks. They rarely disappoint.

After May's leadership challenge, John MacDonald explains his and Corbyn's refusal to do act on this in these terms.

Dead Ringers / int_3fb6b526	comment	Delayed Reaction: David Davis crows to Theresa May over the phone about finally having secured all the Brexit conditions he ever wanted and more, having not gathered that the French PM's nervous and hurried responses were more because he was trying to get to a nuclear bunker, and that in short order those demands were very much about to be null and void. Then what he's caused sinks in. By 2021, it is government policy to only respond to questions after two weeks. So when Michael Gove is on Newsnight, he answers questions he'd been asked on Desert Island Disks, but in a way that sounds like he's responding to the questions anyway.

Accordingly, the remainder of the special is treated like an episode of Gogglebox. During the 2022 Christmas special, Rishi Sunak appears on Evan Davies' radio show, explaining the reason he's been so elusive is because he's discovered the "David Tennant Effect"; similar to how Jodie Whittaker did a reverse regeneration into Tennant in Doctor Who, Sunak fears that he will regenerate into a previous Prime Minister if hurt. Soon after, a studio light crashes down on Sunak, and he regenerates into Liz Truss, who then falls down the hole the light created and regenerates into Boris Johnson, who then regenerates into Theresa May.

As she reveals, when she was a child, she tried running through a corn field, only to be caught and admonished by the field's owner. So, she devised a plan to get Britain out of the EU, destroying British agriculture, solely to get back at him, which she regards as entirely worth it. Jean-Claude Junker swears that if he hears the word "backstop" one time too many, after discussion on the Irish Backstop, he'll sink Finland. Turns out Rishi Sunak's grudge against theatre is because as a kid, he wasn't allowed to be in the school play by his teacher, so now he's going to annihilate British theatre. He's mollified when the National Treasures point out this sort of petty grudge-holding is the very essence of British theatre.

Dead Ringers / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: ... Yes? Richard Hammond is portrayed by a child. One sketch has a troubled President Bartlett informing his staff that actually, he isn't the President of the United States. Everyone is horrified when they learn just who is. The BBC Cafeteria, which has descended into an all-out brawl over unequal pay, is declared to be more horrific than any war-torn country. To Recycled Premise in the 2017 Christmas special, when the BBC Radio 4 announcer asks the audience if they're really wondered what the Nativity would be like, set in a 1970s council estate, before adding "me neither". Followed seconds later by a shot at the Christmas themed poems that had been doing the rounds at that time ("and now, here's another one of those poems we all... love so much.") While comparing her cabinet's Brexit strategy to a Zombie Apocalypse (itself an example), Theresa May notes that if there were an actual zombie outbreak, David Davis wouldn't need to worry. The Beeb issues a travel warning to anyone going to an Ed Sheeran concert that they might find themselves listening to Ed Sheeran. When a footballer joins the National Treasures, Alan Bennett remarks that at least he's not James Corden. After successfully blocking a penalty shot, allowing the England team to advance in the 2018 world cup, their goalie has to give a sample - not for possible steroid use. It's a DNA test. After blocking a goal, no-one believes he's actually English. Likewise, various TV hosts are unnerved and amazed by the fact England's football team actually seems to be doing good. Wetherspoons encourages the failure of any Brexit policy, reducing Britain to a hellhole, simply because Wetherspoons' entire economic model is based on making everyone suffer. Any ident for a TV channel features one of these. The BBC 1 one has the commentator ask the viewer if their Netflix isn't working, ITV compares itself to "visiting grandma", and Sky Atlantic snidely goes "ooh, get you." Even the characters of The Archers don't like their Covid lockdown enforced monologue shows, finding them awkward and irritating. England football fans who are convinced that this year England will win the football are treated as having caught a horrific disease.

The 2018 special has various British celebrities, such as Ian Mackellan and Sir Patrick Stewart, condescendingly trying to explain the whole Brexit thing to "you normal people" (i.e., anyone who's not rich). Jeremy Paxman hosting a Covid-19 special of University Challenge. He's utterly unsympathetic to the contestants, who've been stuck inside for months, generally rude, and gloats about how he can go out and about.

Murray goes right back to his previous monotone. Jeremy Clarkson tries going left-wing for a while, but while filming an episode of The Grand Tour, he tries reviewing a Toyota Prius.

Duncan Smith, for his part, isn't too concerned, but he notes if he was up against Genghis Khan or Adolph Hitler, then it'd be a serious problem. After May's leadership challenge, Jeremy Corbyn hosts a press conference to brag about how 60% support is nothing, when he couldn't even get 20% from his party.

One of Tony Blair's schemes is to replace fire engines with clown cars, despite Kirsty Wark pointing out that clown cars can only go a few feet before exploding in a hilarious bang. Blair confidently states that this will make them better than the Green Goddesses note old fire engines notorious for being god-awful. Danny Dyer, after the incident in which he referred to David Cameron as a c-word, spends one episode dramatically bursting in on people, assuming that by swearing at them he's solving everyone's problems as he "solved" Brexit.
