Canary Catch UP: We Might Regret This, Last Leg, Drag Race!

Welcome back to Canary Catch Up! I’m gonna be honest with you all, most of my tv time this week has been taken up by reading the Game Changer series. These, if you don’t know, are the books that Heated Rivalry comes from. These queer hockey boys have got a death grip on my heart, which is precarious enough considering I’m recovering from pericarditis. But when I wasn’t swooning over these incredible books, I was watching lots of great TV.

We Might Regret This tackles disabled marriage inequality

One show that I’m so glad is back for a second series is We Might Regret This. The sharp comedy nails that, whilst being disabled is rubbish, the shittest part is the way you’re treated by the government, society and media.

The show doesn’t shy away from problems disabled people face that they really fucking shouldn’t anymore. Whilst Freya is excited to be engaged, she’s brought down to earth with a bump when she finds out that by getting married, she could have her care allowance cut by half. In the UK, if you move in with a partner, you can lose means-tested benefits as their income is included in the assessment. This effectively means disabled people don’t have marriage equality and it puts some at risk of prolonged abuse. It meant so much to me that a show of WMRT’s popularity is opening people’s eyes about something that disabled people live in fear of.

Someone’s House of Games?

I’m a huuuuge quiz show fan. So much so, I was on Pointless and have the trophy to prove it. Since Richard Osman left Pointless, he’s had runaway success fronting Richard Osman’s House of Games. The show is now in its ninth series and Osman even met his wife on the show. So for some baffling reason, he announced this week that he’s leaving the show, and in time, someone else will be taking over.

This just seems like an absolutely bizarre move to me, away from the show’s success. How do you even continue a show with someones name in without that person? Will it be Richard Osman’s House of Games Hosted by some annoying prick from Reality TV? Or will it be Some Annoying Prick from Reality TV’s House of Games? Either way, it sounds like bollocks.

Penny Mordaunt gets her arse handed to her on The Last Leg

Tory Ghoul Penny Mordaunt was on The Last Leg this week to flog her wares; thankfully, she wasn’t given an easy ride. Irish comedian Vittorio Angelone laid into her support for the arms trade, saying:

Penny’s always been such a supporter of disabled people, you’re very supportive of the prosthetics industry, you were promoting on Twitter an arms fair in Saudi Arabia recently.

The audience responded with shocked laughter and applause. Mordaunt attempted to justify her actions by spaffing on about how important defence is, which Angelone responded to with:

I think it’s brilliant, warmongering has always been a male dominated industry and you’ve really smashed the glass ceiling.

Mordaunt was understandably fuming, but if you don’t wanna be called a warmonger on live TV, then maybe don’t be a warmonger

And finally…possibly the bizarrest lip-sync ever

I had an arthritis flare at the end of the week, which meant it was prime time to lie in bed and catch up on Rupaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World. And I’m glad I did because it meant I got to witness possibly the best and weirdest lip sync ever.

On Drag Race the bottom two battle it out for the final place in the competition by lip syncing for their lives. In the past we’ve had many iconic lip syncs but this one feels like they might finally be running out of songs. Because instead of a pop banger, Fontana and Serena had to lip sync to fucking Crazy Frog. If this sounds batshit enough, nothing will prepare you for the video

WTH just happened? They made me lip sync to crazy frog 🐸😭😂 #DragRaceUK #teamfontana pic.twitter.com/6N266xDqRk
