Who Could Be PM, Bond and Doctor Who Simultaneously?
At 18:28 · chapter starts 17:10
Dylan Stone's question about who could simultaneously fill the UK's three high-profile vacancies — Prime Minister, James Bond, and Doctor Who — sends the episode into its most playful stretch. Marina Hyde and Richard Osman agree the answer has to come from the acting world, not politics, though Osman briefly entertains Andy Burnham on the grounds that successfully running Manchester's bus network is probably adequate preparation for a TARDIS. The real candidates are actors: Osman nominates Kathy Burke as the triple threat he'd trust most across all three roles, Ross Kemp as his perennial answer to everything, and Danny Dyer as the ideal transitional figure to 'keep the country on an even keel' during the adjustment period. Then — mid-sentence — Osman pivots to David Tennant, who has already done Doctor Who, could plausibly do Bond, and could conceivably be a Prime Minister. The exchange ends with the hosts proposing a job share — two people splitting three roles — before Osman suggests the elegant solution of simply having three different people do three different jobs, a punchline that cuts the whole segment's absurdity beautifully.
The UK needs a new Prime Minister, James Bond, and Doctor Who simultaneously. Richard Osman's verdict: Kathy Burke for the full triple, Danny Dyer to steady the transitional period, and David Tennant as the most credible all-rounder.
TV production companies use third-party firms and DBS checks to vet talent's social media, but failures keep happening. Netflix's Emilia Perez Oscar campaign was derailed by missed posts from lead actress Carla Sofia Gascon — and it cost them everything.
