She had some fun moments in 1990s X-Factor, mostly bonding with Guido, and she was written ok but mostly in the background in Warren Ellis’ Excalibur run with a high point of her dealing with Rev. Craig and growing as a person by moving last his shadow over her. Of course that got retconned :(

Less said about Raab’s mess and shoving her and Douglock into a relationship after her explicitly seeing him as a friend and distinct from both Doug and Warlock. At least PAD’s torments were well written and had good drama to them.

No one seems to know how to write her, ignoring the really obvious allegories that her upbringing provides - overcoming religious intolerance and cPTSD with found family, queer awakening, feminism vs patriarchy, etc. One of the few good things that the Fox Film got was understanding that.

catching up on rahne content lately, and oh my god?? she deserves so much better than what the writers are giving her like jfc give this girl a break

Dickheads of the Month: January 2022

As it seems that there are people who say or do things that are remarkably dickheaded yet somehow people try to make excuses for them or pretend it never happened, here is a collection of some of the dickheaded actions we saw in the month of January 2022 to make sure that they are never forgotten.

So it has emerged that proven liar Boris Johnson is using the Tory whips to try and keep any Tory MPs who don't fall in line with The Great Leader onside with threats of blackmail, specifically blackmail aimed at their constituency funding.  And what really stands out is that this isn't at all surprising, given Theresa May had the whips keep a dossier on dirty little secrets of MPs to have them vote in line

...and then along comes Michael Fabricant to try and deny everything William Wragg said by saying that, if he went to the police every time the whips threatened him, the police wouldn't have time to do anything else that only served to confirm Wragg’s story, and then along came Secretary of State for Culture Wars Nadine Dorries to dismiss Wragg as an attention seeker, apparently forgetting her own stint on Celebrity Survivor

Of course it emerged that proven liar Boris Johnson was flagrantly ignoring his own rules during the initial lockdown as it predictably emerged there was a 100-person BYOB party that Michael Reynolds arranged to take place at Downing Street in May 2020, and when this story broke proven liar Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson ran and hid so Michael Ellis was into Commons to take the flak as no minister wanted to do it

...soon followed by proven liar Boris Johnson getting increasingly desperate when trying to deny he knowingly attended a party to the point where he claimed he did not know the rules - rules which not only did he set out, but also spent several hours every single Monday afternoon for months on end outlining on national television

...and when Dominic Raab was sent out to deny the existence of any parties, all he managed to do was confirm the May 20th 2020 party existed by bringing up suggestions it was in his honour

...so it's no wonder that Michael Gove brought out the big guns: if the UK is a Christian country than the public ought to forgive the Tories for routinely breaking their own rules and getting arsey when caught with their pants down

At long last Cressida Dick announced that the Metropolitan Police would investigate the Downing Street parties - and by complete coincidence, this announcement gave proven liar Boris Johnson an excuse to try and delay the Sue Grey report into the Downing Street parties which was due to be published that same week

...soon followed by the Metropolitan Police announcing that, if Sue Grey were to release her report, she needs to remove the sections specific to the Metropolitan Police actually getting off their backsides and investigating the Downing Street parties in case they quote-unquote prejudiced the investigation they were happy to not bother starting until the Grey report was due

The sheer desperation of proven liar Boris Johnson to throw the Tory troll conspiracy theory in Commons of Keir Starmer covering up the accusations into Jimmy Saville really says a lot - but not quite as much as how the increasingly unhinged Nadine Dorries repeated it as she swayed around like a drunken sailor in a gale later that evening outside of the Chamber, meaning she wasn’t protected by parliamentary privilege when she said it

The best defence that proven liar Boris Johnson could come up with when asked about the bungs from David Brownlow to refurbish the Downing Street flat was he can't remember reading the WhatsApp messages he sent blatantly asking for a bribe while also indicating that providing one would get Brownlow’s plans for a Great Exhibition off the ground - yet Lord Geidt somehow believed this, or is simply too spineless to act on what is clearly in front of him

It seems to have slipped the mind of Daniel Kawczynski that, as he was born in Warsaw to Polish parents and is fluent in Polish, that maybe claiming expenses for £22,000 worth of Polish lessons is going to cause people asking questions, chief of which are “Are you taking the piss?” and “No, really, what did you really spend it on?”

The entitlement of Novak Djokovic to roll into Australia expecting a vaccination exemption due to being reigning Australian Open champion, having long railed against mandatory vaccinations while also ducking the question of whether he has been vaccinated, didn’t get him past the immigration desk in Melbourne to the surprise of...mainly just him, his equally obnoxious and entitled family, and his increasingly unhinged fanbase

...and then Novak Djokovic attempted to claim he was exempt because he had Covid in mid-December, which only served to highlight the various times where he violated Serbian law by not remaining in self-isolation for fourteen days - so of course he tried to pin it all on his agent

...and then along came waffling gargoyle Nigel Farage to rant about how the Australian border controls which he’d been saying the UK needed for so long were suddenly draconian, which mainly served to demonstrate that being an anti-lockdown grifter is more valuable than being an anti-migrant grifter

...and then it turns out that Novak Djokovic has either completely changed the entire concept of how time passes, or that one of his documents was altered given the one for the earlier date somehow has a higher registration number than the one from a later date, which is literally impossible

Ask a sensible question of Jacob Rees-Mogg such as whether MPs should be allowed to debate and vote remotely due to the rise of Omicron that Pete Wishart raised in Commons, expect a remarkably cuntish answer such as Rees-Mogg accusing Wishart of being lazy and not liking his job

As defences go, the attempt by Prince Andrew to say that he shouldn’t an American court because Jeffrey Epstein paid off Virginia Giuffre so therefore he’s in the clear certainly isn't a good one - or a successful one, given it got punted into the long grass

Somehow it didn’t occur to Suella Braverman that, as Attorney General, it's not a good idea to respond to the Colston 4 being acquitted by issuing a statement that reads “Trial by jury is an important guardian of liberty & must not be undermined. However...” since that last word and every word which comes after it undermines liberty

...sort of like how GB News damn near collapsed the trial by publishing articles criticising the defendants during the court proceedings which saw them dragged into court facing potential contempt of court charges, which paint a sorry picture of how little media training their presenters have

Some rather blatant bending of the rules by Arsenal in having their match against Tottenham postponed due to a lack of players where they cited Covid, yet the reality was one player had Covid when they asked for the match to be postponed, one suspended, two had been loaned out in the week before the match...and five at the Africa Cup of Nations, which last time I checked wasn't a reason to have a match postponed

Great plan by Hana Horka to deliberately catch Covid from her family in order to get a recovery pass so she could enter certain Czech venues while remaining unvaccinated - inasmuch as the next venue she was booked at was the local funeral home due to a slight case of death

I wonder if Andrew Bridgen has figured out yet that, when being interviewed on camera for a Newsnight interview, saying “The village idiot is in front of the camera” isn't the comeback he thought it was

The only thing more pathetic than Logan Paul being thinking that he was paying $3.5m on Pokemon cards only to discover that he’d been scammed is Logan Paul then posting a video whining about how he had been scammed out of $3.5m he thought he was spending on Pokemon cards

Obviously it needs explaining to Danny Danon that Emma Watson expressing solidarity with Palestine doesn't make her an antisemite, and that flat out calling her one doesn't make you look like UN ambassadorial material

It’s rather sad to see WWE put more effort into releasing a statement top the Toronto Sun where they came across as the worst kind of tattletale by trying to get sponsors to stop associating with AEW based on one match than, oh I don’t know, maybe make their product watchable...but it was fun to see the WWE Attack Squad suddenly lose the “WWE doesn’t even acknowledge AEW” line they hide behind

Mother of the year Sarah Beam had a novel approach to discovering her son had tested positive for Covid: locking him in the boot of her car before driving to a mass testing centre.  For some reason the school she works at has since placed her on leave for an indeterminate amount of time...

Just when you thought that GB News couldn’t get any more ridiculous, they go and have a Winston Churchill impersonator appear on their channel to be interviewed on the 57th anniversary of Churchill’s death

The brain trust at Konami had a genius idea to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Castlevania: by using the 35th anniversary of Castlevania as an excuse to pump out NFTs and put them up for auction on OpenSea even though a fair chunk of them are simply the game’s box art which anyone can download off the internet 

...and hot on their heels Atari (or what passes for Atari these days) decided to go one better by announcing how, to celebrate their 50th anniversary, they are bringing out NFT loot boxes

Sheer genius of WWE to decide that WALTER should be renamed to Gunther Stark because they already filed the trademark - only to learn that he would be sharing the name with a member of the Nazi Kriegsmarine, something they could have avoided with a cursory Google search before filing the trademark

The most important thing that Andrew Rosindell believes the BBC should do is play the national anthem at the end of every day's broadcasting, immediately gaining support from Secretary of State for Culture Wars Nadine Dorries when he suggested this in Commons - apparently forgetting that Radio 4 does this every single day

Not only did Cameron Winklevoss come down on the side of Spotify in the row over whether music is important or whether cashing in on their service allowing frowning thumb Joe Rogan to continue talking utter shite no matter how dangerous it is, but he thought he’d sound clever in using Neil Young's Rockin’ in the Free World against him...which betrayed the fact that Winklevoss hasn’t actually read the lyrics

Sadly people are still asking Edwina Currie for her opinion and, predictably, we get drivel like her telling LBC (after twice trying to duck the question) that the tangible benefits of Jonestown are “Freedom” and “Two fingers to Brussels” which, the last time I checked, doesn’t make up for losing £66bn

And finally, lacking self-awareness as always, is Donald Trump thinking the best choice of music to announce his entrance for a rally in Texas was The Undertaker’s theme, because of all the pieces of music to use it's one based off the funeral march to announce the guy whose non-response to Covid left hundreds of thousands dead and then, to cap it all off, the insurrection he tried to organise added a couple more bodies to the pile

TV review as Nish Kumar’s topical show finds a new home on Dave

Looks like it never went away… After being dumped by the BBC as a move to appease Conservative critics, The Mash Report has resurfaced on Dave with a new name, Late Night Mash . Of course, the irony is that Dave’s parent company, UKTV, is wholly owned by BBC Studios.

Aside from the new graphics and a slightly different set up, almost everything was the same, from the rent to the newsdesk, Rachel Parris being the best thing at it.

In his opening monologue, host Nish Kumar begins the episode by joking about the cancellation controversy: ‘Like the Taliban, despite popular demand, we are back.

Yes, that’s right, I am Nish Kumar and I was canceled by BBC. And like everyone else who’s been “canceled,” I’ve got a new television show on a different channel and I’m more untraceable than ever. Think of me as Brown Lawrence Fox, not because we are similar but mainly because I think he would really hate her.’

Fox replied on Twitter this morning, ‘So happy to mention you in my first monologue, my brother from another mother!’

But you might be able to detect a hint of sarcasm, as Awakened Anti-Warrior said: ‘I hope this show is as successful as your previous show. Which I am sure it will be.’ This is followed by an emoji with folded hands praying.

Kumar’s jokes about his new home continued with remarks that the BBC usually shows Dave ‘without first canceling’ – before referring to the broadcaster losing Taskmaster. “We are really looking forward to making this show a success on Dave, which means I am coming to Channel 4 in two years,” he said.

And later, Paris, above, read a fake tweet that read: ‘Congratulations on Dave’s move from the BBC. I recently got divorced and moved out of the family home to bedsit. You get used to it.’

Otherwise business went on as normal, which is either good news or disappointing, depending on your view of the original. Or, let’s face it, your voting intentions.

But Late Night Mash faces an uphill battle on two fronts. First, trying to be sarcastic about a government that is really beyond satire, seeing as how incompetence has become commonplace. When any litany of ministerial failures committed every week has no results, it seems impotent to point them out with a raised eyebrow.

The other left is leaving Twitter behind. Most of the attitudes and opinions seen on last night’s show have been filling their target audience timelines for months, fueled by the fact that there’s been a year’s worth of news since the last BBC episode. But at times, last night’s installment felt like another echo chamber as it followed a news agenda of Brexit-extreme food shortages, football fans protesting players for taking a knee, or Dominic Raab. In the absence of Kabul had fallen.

In such cases, Kumar can come across as smug, especially in his mid-show monologues that go beyond comedy. He’s aware of this fact, and downplays it a bit — there were a lot of jokes on last night’s show about him losing his virginity of late — but it’s all the more effective when Paris happily patronizes him. Makes fun of him in a tone of voice.

But even though the topics may sound familiar, the great writing team brings up some new things about them,

In any case, sarcasm doesn’t always have to haunt the establishment; It can also simply serve to vent frustrations, to reassure people that they are not alone in their frustration or anger at the state of things. And that is perhaps the strength of Late Night Mash, as a rallying point for dissent.

Even token right-winger Geoff Norcott, above, was largely in line. In one of the more amusing segments, he fails to call youth ‘wok snowflakes’ as convention dictates, instead pointing out how tough a pandemic Generation Z is… and now with added horror. that Michael Gove can turn into their nightclub.

In news headlines read by Steve Ann Allen, Ellie Taylor offers some edgy one-liners and a touch of absurdity to change the tone. The sketches they lead are sometimes poor, but kudos for getting the phrase ’30-Minute Anal Tongue’ on TV, delivered with Taylor’s perfectly articulate Queen’s English.

But in a huge editing slip, somehow the same joke was used twice without anyone noticing. Allen said in two separate bulletins, ‘Arsehol who got up before 6 a.m. and feels the need to tell everyone about it. That same editor might want to dial back the laugh track, which often felt intrusive here.

Meanwhile, the most significant change – increasing the show to an hour so as to maximize the number of commercials – was a stretch. But the success of Late Night Mash can be measured not only by how many people watch the entire show, but by the reach on social media. It is a format that is cut into short clips and hopefully goes viral.

That – as well as team politics – is probably why Late Night Mash isn’t too far from accepted wisdom. But more edge and stunning angles won’t go wrong.

• Late Night Mash is now available on UKTV Play.
