Summary

All-singing, all-dancing satirical biopic charting the rise and fall of the Duke of York. With seven hilarious original musical numbers and revealing archive footage, the Duke of York's downfall gets a West End-style treatment, as Andrew goes from '80s war hero to present-day royal outcast amid damaging allegations and an ill-advised Newsnight interview. Written by and starring Kieran Hodgson, with Emma Sidi, Munya Chawawa and Harry Enfield

Review

David Butcher

In an ideal world, Channel 4 would still have its much-missed royal satire The Windsors to call on at times like this. Instead, a cheeky comedy- musical takes aim with similar glee at the House of Windsor’s exiled prince.

Without the benefit of a preview, we can recommend this on the basis that its writer and star is rising talent Kieran Hodgson, the impressionist and viral comic who adroitly spoofs other TV shows online. He takes the lead role as we follow Andrew’s decline and fall from Falklands war heroics to becoming a palace pariah — with the help of showtunes and some nicely surreal casting. Will Hodgson be able to make the story funny? No sweat.
