\n\t\u201cThe code word is Pizza Express Woking.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tIt was only a matter of time before Saturday Night Live<\/a> UK\u2018s cold open took on the former Prince Andrew. The second SNL<\/a> UK did just that, roasting now plain Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with a sketch turning the clock back to 1997.<\/p>\n \n\tIn this week\u2019s cold open, a young Prince Andrew, played by Jack Shep, who last week went viral with his Princess Diana impression, meets with MI5 agents.<\/p>\n \n\tHis task: a 29-year-long plan to make the future King Charles III, then just a humble prince, as likeable as possible for when he eventually becomes King. \u201cI love my brother, love my country and am willing to do whatever it takes,\u201d he says. That task involves all the other members of the royal family, including Prince Harry and Prince William, \u201cdecreasing their likeability\u201d to make Charles look good. <\/p>\n \n\tReading the 29-year plan back to the agents, Andrew brings Jeffrey Epstein into the picture as he utters: \u201cAnd you actually want me to do all this stuff? Even the bit about befriending a notorious paedophile? Before and after he\u2019s convicted?\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tTo audience titters, he is then joined by fellow Epstein confidante Peter Mandelson, played by Larry Dean. \u201cThe most honorable, ethical politician we have,\u201d Andrew says. \u201cNo one will believe he is corruptible.\u201d Both have been arrested in recent weeks after appearing in the Epstein Files.<\/p>\n \n\tThe agents in the cold open conclude by telling Andrew that the code word to get him out of the 29-year plan is \u201cPizza Express Woking,\u201d a reference to his notorious alibi given in his disastrous BBC Newsnight interview about his relationship with Epstein. \u201cI\u2019m not sure I\u2019d ever be able to fit that into conversation but I\u2019ll make it sound as natural as possible,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n \n\tYou can watch the video below. <\/p>\n \n\tSNL UK<\/a> is into its second week and its first hosted by someone from outside of the States, in this case Jamie Dornan. <\/p>\n \n\tDornan\u2019s intro kicked off with jokes about Fifty Shades of Grey, potatoes and a special appearance from fellow Irishman Chris O\u2019Dowd.<\/p>\n \n\tLast week\u2019s first-ever cold open poked fun at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer\u2019s cowering relationship with Donald Trump. Speaking to Deadline before launch earlier this month<\/a>, head writer Daran Jonno Johnson said: \u201cI guess we have two equivalents of the White House\u201d in the UK. \u201cWe have Buckingham Palace and we have [the Prime Minister\u2019s residence] 10 Downing Street and as a result there is this overlapping group of characters. I think we\u2019ll find some good angles on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
