Episode description

This week we review - Simon Bird: Debrief

Simon Bird, star of Friday Night Dinner and The Inbetweeners, makes his stand-up special debut.

Recorded during lockdown in an empty theatre, he tackles the UK's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Simon, undeterred (or emboldened?) by empty seats and eerie silence, reckons with topics such as nationalism, sexism, the environment, and the NHS.

'Debrief' is a long-lens look at the decade leading up to the UK's much-criticised response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Written by Simon Bird
Produced by Rupert Majandie
