    More accurately, Dara's impression of Peter Sellers' impression of Lawrence Olivier's portrayal of Richard III.

    In my mind now Richard III actually wins the Battle of Bosworth by firing blue lightning out of his hands! He corners the would-be Henry VII in an isolated spot and gleefully cackles "Tuuudoooor.... your friends cannot save you nowwww!!!!!" All English history from the Tudors onwards is thus forever wiped out and reboots with a Sith-Lord on the throne instead, Darth Ricardius (someone needs to make a film of this with Dara in the lead role! ;-)

      There are definitely some racial undertones in Star Wars. The Trade Federation are clearly imitations of Asians seeking market dominance, the Gungans are basically caricatures of African tribesmen, the Tuscan Raiders are essentially Bedouin warriors...it's pretty overt.

      In fact, the original producers moved the show to Los Angeles because 90% of the comedians* were based there and flying them to Britain was pricey on a panel show budget. The last UK season was filmed there, then the US show hosted by Drew Carey took over using the same sets.
      *The other 10% were Colin Mochrie, a Canadian.
