    Wonderful but oddly prophetic.

    I really was confused. I thought this was more current. I was thinking that Tim Curry has really recovered from his stroke. This is because the American political jokes and the Donald Trump reference made me think it was filmed within the last two years. So it was a shock to see the date of filming was 2012. Very shocked. Anyway. It was incredible. A whose who of famous UK comedic talent.
