Provides examples of:

  • Facepalm: Ed does this when he realises he needs to find a replacement brain for Reagan.
  • Knocking on Heathens' Door: One Jehovah's Witness shows up in a space suit at a Russian space station, but doesn't make much headway with the cosmonauts once they open the airlock.
  • Insistent Terminology: This week's episode of CRIMINAL LIBEL includes a disembodied voiceover clarifying any MP's party whenever they're mentioned.
  • Strawman News Media: News at Benn, presented by Tony Benn and other Labour figures, provides some comically biased commentary on the state of Thatcher's government. At the end, Benn and the others have a chuckle to themselves about Thatcher suffering from varicose veins.
  • Sycophantic Servant: The cabinet's attempts to stand up to Thatcher ends in her getting them to stick their fingers up their noses and make chicken noises and them thanking her when she calls a them all "spineless insects."
  • Talking Animal: A sheep gains the power of speech when it swallows Reagan's brain.
