\n\t\u201cSNL U.K.\u201d ran down the week in TV during its cold open, through the lens of Prime Minister Andy Burnham<\/a>\u2018s recent appearance on \u201cCelebrity Gogglebox.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBurnham, played by George Fouracres, featured on the show with Liverpool Mayor Steven Rotheram (Emma Sidi) to discuss their favorite television moments of the week. \u201cYou know what my favorite program is, Andy?\u201d Sidi as Rotheram said. \u201cThat \u2018Saturday Night Live U.K.\u2019 You know, my dream is that one day they do an impression of me.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cSNL U.K.\u201d players then spoofed some of the biggest British shows right now, including \u201cThe Celebrity Traitors.\u201d Celeste Dring appeared as host Claudia Winkleman, saying: \u201cWhat happens when we take 22 celebrities who are too famous to play the game seriously, or care whether or not they win, and put them in a castle? The answer: not much to be honest.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tPrince William<\/a>\u2018s surprise appearance on \u201cThe Graham Norton Show,\u201d in which he discussed his love for Christopher Nolan movies and \u201cThe Celebrity Traitors,\u201d was also mocked. Jack Shep suited up as Norton, saying to Freddie Meredith as William: \u201cNow, can I ask you a cheeky question?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOh, here we go,\u201d Meredith\u2019s William replied with a monotone laugh. \u201cCome on then, Graham. I\u2019m always a good sport, as you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShep\u2019s Graham then went for it, asking: \u201cIs it true that your brother Harry has reached out this week?\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShut up!\u201d Meredith\u2019s William shouted in response.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Great British Bake Off\u201d was next, starring Larry Dean as \u201csleep paralysis demon\u201d Noel Fielding and Ayoade Bamgboye as Alison Hammond, \u201cthe only person everyone in the country likes.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGogglebox\u201d was soon interrupted by Burnham \u201cfrom the future,\u201d played by \u201cWeekend Update\u201d host Paddy Young, who informed Fouracres\u2019 Prime Minister that a cyberattack is coming, and the only way to stop it is to \u201ctell the country to buy an extra can of beans.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou\u2019ve done it, shagger!\u201d Young\u2019s Burnham concluded. \u201cYou\u2019ve changed the future \u2026 Hang on, is that Steve Rotheram?
