About this Broadcast
Frankie Boyle's 2019 New World Order
Season 1, Episode 1
The comedian returns with his end of year special, with guests Sara Pascoe and Miles Jupp helping him dissect the bewildering year that was 2019. The show features a mix of Frankie's stand-up, reviews and discussion - all in an attempt to make sense of the last 12 months, which has seen Boris Johnson succeed Theresa May as prime minister, the further delay of the UK's exit from the European Union, the announcement of a general election and impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump getting under way

Frankie Boyle
(Presenter)
Born:
August 16, 1972
in
Glasgow
Best Known For:
His Mock The Week appearances.
Early-life:
Francis Martin Patrick Boyle was born August 16, 1972, in Pollokshaws on the south side of Glasgow. His parents came from Co Donegal in Ireland. After leaving school he studied urban planning at Aston University for a year before dropping out to do an English literature degree at the University of Sussex. In 1995, while on a teacher-training course in Edinburgh, he started doing stand-up comedy. He got his big break at Edinburgh's The Stand Comedy Club. However, it was his appearances on BBC comedy news review show Mock the Week that helped turn him into a household name.
Career:
Boyle was dubbed 'The dark heart of Mock the Week' by host Dara O Briain, and enjoyed massive success with a series of stand-up shows around the UK. However, Boyle has also courted plenty of controversy with his comments on a range of subjects. He left Mock the Week in 2009; he released his autobiography the same year and in 2010 launched comedy show Tramadol Nights on C4. He also writes a weekly tabloid column, and his tours have gone down a storm in many parts of the UK. However, a pilot for a proposed talk show called Frankie Boyle's Rehabilitation Programme was described as 'non-transmittable'.
Quote:
'As long as you're not trying to solicit murder, there's no line that you can't cross.'
Trivia:
Boyle has published an autobiography and two other books.

Dagenham
Best Known For:
Being a comedian.
Early-life:
Sara was born in Dagenham on May 22, 1981, the daughter of Derek Pascoe, vocalist and saxophonist in 1970s pop group Flintlock. Sara went on to study English at the University of Sussex. She began performing stand-up in 2007.
Career:
Pascoe first appeared in her own show at the Edinburgh Festival in 2010. Since then, she has toured around the UK and appeared on a number of TV panel shows, including Mock the Week, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and QI. She has also acted in The Thick of It, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, Campus, Twenty Twelve and W1A. In 2016, she published Animal: The Autobiography of a Female Body.
Quote:
'I don't think there are any subjects you can't joke about because human beings are forgiving of subject matter when we find things funny.'
Trivia:
Pascoe is a vegan. In 2014, she was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Comedy Show.
Miles Jupp
(Contributor)
Born:
September 08, 1979
in
Newcastle Upon Tyne
Best Known For:
Starring in Rev and Balamory
Early-life:
Miles was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1979, but spent most of his childhood in London. His father was a minister in the United Reform Church, and it initially looked as if Miles was going to follow in his footsteps when he studied Divinity at the University of Edinburgh. However, he combined his studies _ and a job as a trainee chaplain in the local psychiatric hospital _ with performing as a stand-up comedian.
Career:
His stand-up career started to take off _ he won the So You Think You're Funny? competition in 2001 and two years later was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2002, he also won over a younger audience when he was cast as Archie the inventor in the children's TV series Balamory, which ran for three years. Since then, he's gone on to appear in acclaimed sitcoms such as The Thick Of It and Rev, and has cropped up on numerous panel shows. He's also appeared in films ranging from Johnny English Reborn to Grimsby and The Legend of Tarzan, and took over from Sandi Toksvig as the host of Radio 4's The News Quiz.
Quote:
On being typecast as polite, repressed characters: "I was moaning about this the other day to a friend and he said: 'What are you expecting to play - a Mexican drug lord?'"
Trivia:
Miles starred as the actor David Tomlinson, who is probably best know for his role in Mary Poppins, in the one-man play The Life I Lead. He took on the project after numerous people _ including Tomlinson's eldest son _ remarked on the similarities between them.
