Tracey takes a different Angela on Brexit talks W

ITH her smart digs at celebrities, current affairs and social issues, Tracey Ullman’s comedy sketches are a breath of fresh air. So lap them up while you can, as this series goes out with a bang.

Viewers who are missing Bake Off will be delighted that Tracey has devised something else to fill the void – The Great British Boiled Egg.

Her uncanny Mary Berry announces which of the three Boilers will go through to the Soldier’s round. But with hatching chicks and broken shells, it’s cracking drama.

Meanwhile, Tracey also inhabits troubled artist Sharon Utley (who bears more than a passing resemblance to Tracey Emin). Swigging from a bottle of wine and loitering to cause acts of hooliganism, Sharon is not impressed that they’ve opened an art gallery in her home town.

Elsewhere, Liverpudlian businesswoman Pam wants to take over the nation. She already has a new home CCTV device (Pamcam) and breakfast cereal (Pam’s Brans). But can she take over Sheffield steel works and rename it Pam’s Pipes?

Dame Maggie Smith tackles a first-person shooter video game in her latest vlog. But she’s enjoying vlogging: “It’s like acting but you can do it from your armchair and you don’t have to eat lunch at a drafty location.”

And Angela Merkel, fed up with the Brexit negotiations (aren’t we all), just wants to see more of London. A trip on an open top bus does the trick.

But the best skit cleverly highlights how women can be treated differently to men after an attack. Detectives quiz a man who has just been mugged at knifepoint. “Were you drunk? Did you even scream?” says a cop. “You look quite provocatively wealthy. It’s a bit of an invitation.”
