How the show is put together
The Saturday Night Live UK team has released a behind-the-scenes video of how the show is put together.
All the sketches for the show – included the prerecorded ones – are written, rehearsed, and performed in the six days leading up to the Saturday 10pm broadcast on Sky.
The show is on hiatus this week but returns on April 25 with Nicola Coughlan as host, with Aimee Lou Wood doing the duties on May 2.
