Well, I like the callback to the first series with Angela Merkel again breaking into song and singing "99 Luftballoons" but this was a pretty weak finale. We got a Maggie Smith vlog which was good, but we missed out on most of the key characters and instead got extended time for a recovering street whore persona. That's a bad tradeoff.

Great finale!

First off, Angela Merkel singing "99 Red Balloons" is the most glorious bit ever conceived! The victim-shaming sketch that got global media coverage deserves a BAFTA. The takeoff on Tracey Emin (though they didn't use her name) was spot-on. Nicola Sturgeon torturing a captive Andy Murray with non-stop Bay City Rollers was also hilarious. Kay's sketch was probably the most unexpected. Mother has gone from wicked to pure evil! All in all, just a brilliant send off. Bring on series 3! We need Theresa May given a proper Tracey Ullman send up!
