Is Gove's comedy sketch about Scots self-hate speech?
Lesley Riddoch discusses a clip of Michael Gove from comedy sketch show A Stab In The Dark where the senior Tory talks about how terrible Scottish people are.
Lesley Riddoch, The National (Scotland), 29th June 2021The show I made with Michael Gove gives me nightmares
In 1992, Gove, David Baddiel and I presented the presciently titled A Stab In The Dark - a politics-based Channel 4 'yoof' programme. It was an absolute turkey.
Tracey MacLeod, The Guardian, 5th July 2016Michael Gove was in a comedy called A Stab in the Dark
Vote Leave's EU referendum campaign felt like a stab in the dark at times. It's quite fitting then that Michael Gove once appeared in a TV series of the same title. And it was a politics-based comedy. The satire was actually a fairly serious affair in that it appeared on Channel 4 and also featured David Baddiel.
