While this is another political episode, the parodies are so good that their stupid beliefs don't really matter.It would help if you were over fifty and British(I'm neither)but if you have seen enough of the work of these guys, you might get a lot of the jokes no matter your age or location.I managed to piece together that GLC probably means Greater London Council and after a little research I found out I was right.I have never heard of Tony Benn but from Richardson's hilarious portrayal of him, I assume he was a commie that was constantly smoking a pipe.I only know who Scargill is from the episode The Strike, he was apparently very important to The Comic Strip guys.Ade's portrayal of Prince Charles as an old man with long hair was just weird.I'm sure it had some big political meaning to these guys but I don't get it.I don't know much about Charles Bronson or Cher either but I still thought the parodies of them were funny.Rik Mayall was extremely funny but he's barely in it.Knowing a lot about 1980s British politics could help make this funnier but it's not necessary.
