9 May
Summary

- The sketch imagined a future where Farage is Prime Minister.
- The show was confirmed for a second season, Variety reported.
Saturday Night Live U.K. has officially been renewed for a second season, as previously reported. The show's latest installment opened with a comedic cold open featuring Peter Serafinowicz portraying Nigel Farage. This sketch humorously depicted a 1946 setting where Farage, having become Prime Minister, discusses drastic population reduction measures with Kemi Badenoch.
The satirical segment also included a fictional 'King Trump' brokering a ceasefire and a 'straight pride parade.' The narrative then shifted to a future where Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner time-traveled to witness Farage's prolonged premiership. The episode concluded with a nod to the show's renewal and the iconic "Live from London, it's Saturday Night!" intro.
