The programme doesn't get everything right... the American tendency to use 'England' as though it's a synonym for the United Kingdom will grate with some and the closing gag suggests that The Daily News finds it hard to distinguish posh English politicians from one another... that's George Osborne inside the cannon, not David Cameron as they appear to think.
But Stewart brilliantly picks up an odd bit of phrasing in Gordon Brown's resignation statement and it's worth watching just to see his impersonation of the Queen. And although John Oliver's contribution is a bit patchy, his lampooning of Cameron's claim that Britain's "best days still lie ahead" is priceless.
