DOUGLAS IS CANCELLED is a new four-part miniseries written by Steven Moffat for ITV. The show follows Douglas Bellows (Hugh Bonneville), a widely respected news anchor who is ‘cancelled’ after making an inappropriate joke at a wedding. Douglas attempts to reassemble the tattered remnants of his life with the help of co-anchor Madeline (Karen Gillian), his wife Shelia (Alex Kingston) and his producer Toby (Ben Miles).

Sam and Natalia watch and review DOUGLAS IS CANCELLED. Topics of conversation include cancel culture, ‘73 Yards’, disgraced celebrities, Eamonn Holmes, Donald Trump’s obsession with Kristen Stewart, “Old Man Yells at Cloud”, Jeremy Hunt, the definition of ‘woke’, and Steven Moffat’s writing career, from PRESS GANG to JEKYLL; SHERLOCK to DOCTOR WHO; COUPLING to THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE.
