Timely return of no-holds-barred satire that hasn’t lost its touch! Brilliant depictions of alien Cummings and vampire Patel especially although voices need work. Trump was always going to be a gift, as were Harry & Meghan (watch this space for the lawsuit). Also good to revisit the original series - anyone remember Mary Whitehouse?

A lavish production with great CGI but with a disappointingly lazy & cliched plot line that really lets it down. When, for example did U-boats (very keen not to give away their positions for obvious reasons) ever radio threatening messages to convoy escorts? Possibly a mistake for Tom Hanks to write and direct his own script? Watch 1953 “The Cruel Sea” (Amazon Prime) for an immensely more moving/accurate story. Even 70 years on.
