Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 11th November 2019A glorious slice of semi-serious fun arrived on meant-to-be-Brexit night in the shape of Kieran Hodgson's "comedy documentary" How Europe Stole My Mum. The premise was nice. The day after that referendum, the comedian visits his "mum", Liza Tarbuck, who makes an admission: and the ensuing dialogue just about wraps up life over the last three-and-a-half years.
Hodgson had the genius idea of analysing how we joined the EEC ("Brentry") - Heath, Wilson, Benn, Jenkins, Labour's earlier civil war, De Gaulle - to try to find some parallels, even answers. He actually got further, with the inspired help of Tarbuck, Harry Enfield and some dusty footage, than an entire slew of Newsnights. An inspired chunk of educative cleverness.
