Our first virtual Real Variety Show. Fresh from helping Peter Crouch to Save our Summer, Alex Horne plays host accompanied by his wonderful Horne Section. Russell Kane gives corporate events a Kaneing (more like a love letter), Mark Watson drops in to say hello, and Jimmy Carr previews his Christmas Quiz – “the perfect way to party in a pandemic.” The mood softens with a beautiful piece from Ukrainian sand artist Kseniya Simonova (known to BGT fans), before descending into anarchy when Alex attempts to join George Egg in a pancake cook-along with upturned irons! Abandoman (aka Rob Broderick) tops the bill, proving beyond doubt that ‘virtual’ was invented for improvised hip hop with an Irish twist.
