It has been announced that Nigel Farage will be the subject of his own mockumentary. Set to air on BBC2, Nigel Farage Gets His Life Back will star Kevin Bishop as the former UKIP leader as he tries to cope with life after his resignation from the party. The new show is being described as a fly-on-the-wall mockumentary, similar to past mockumentaries such as Arrested Development and Come Fly With Me. So far the show is planned as a one-off rather than a series but it is possible this could change if the episode proves to be a success.
But what aspects of Nigel Farage’s life should the episode follow? Here’s what I would like to see from BBC2’s new show.
Farage In The Jungle
It has been said that ITV are desperate for Nigel Farage to appear on this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, so wouldn’t it be funny to see him decide to go in the jungle? The rest of the episode could follow him trying to prepare for life in the celebrity-based competition, before an ITV producer rings him up to inform him that he has been replaced with the Chuckle Brothers.
The Trump Who Came To Dinner
Recently Nigel Farage joined Donald Trump across the pond at a presidential Mississippi rally, so what if in BBC2’s new show the pair are actually good friends? Perhaps the one-off episode could see Nigel Farage invite Donald Trump around for dinner. Imagine the dinner conversation they could have! It would be like Lord Voldemort and Darth Vader discussing the rise of mudbloods over breakfast at Doctor Doom’s castle.
Loose Farage
What does someone do when they’re jobless?
They watch daytime television of course!
So let’s see Nigel Farage’s view of it. What does he think of Loose Women? Is he an avid viewer of The Chase? Or is Pointless more his style? Nigel Farage may be no stranger to appearing on daytime television but I would have thought as leader of the UKIP party he would have been too busy to actually watch it before.
“I Told You, I’m Done!”
This isn’t the first time Nigel Farage has resigned from UKIP as the party has practically begged him to return in the past. What if they were to do so again? Would Nigel Farage return to his party or tell them to get lost?
Let’s see Nigel Farage change the locks on his house so the UKIP members can’t get in. Let’s see him change his landline number so they can’t keep harassing him over the phone. Let’s see Nigel Farage become a hermit and recluse himself from the world.
Stuff UKIP, Nigel Farage wants his life back!
Nigel Farage Is In Da House
Another thing I would like to see is Nigel Farage having the night lifestyle of an 18 year old teenager. I want to see Nigel Farage partying into the early hours of the morning. It’s time for Farage to get his groove on…and wake up with a massive hangover. And because he’s such a major political celebrity, the Daily Mail have pictures of his antics published the next day. Ouch.
Nigel Farage Gets His Life Back will be written by comedy writers Alan Connor and Shaun Pye, behind the hugely successful comedy shows The Rack Pack and A Young Doctor’s Notebook. An air date has yet to be confirmed for the episode. It is currently unknown whether Nigel Farage himself will be watching.
