Preview - Britain Today Tonight
Fonejacker-turned-Facejacker Kayvan Novak returns with a double-bill of a new show featuring the comedian playing a range of comic characters hoaxing the public.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 5th May 2017Kayvan Novak, of Fonejacker and Facejacker pedigree, dons the prosthetics once again to play a variety of outlandish reporters in a Fox-a-like US news spoof about Britain. As per, he's pranking unsuspecting folk, from the teens his ageing spook Sir Nicholas Charles enlists to decode texts to the black-cab drivers he quizzes on politics as Scots reporter Ken Kildoon. While he doesn't reach the heights of his former series, it's a welcome return.
