The weird part is that they were private and noticeably less terrible at the time the skit is set, prior to their seizure by the war government and nationalisation by Labour in 48.

the plastic dome is in reference to the actual Millennium Dome that was build to celebrate the year 2000 and was filled with basically pointless exhibitions. It's now called the O2 Arena, which houses a 20,000 seater gig venue, a shopping mall, loads of restaurants and a cinema.

@ianjardine7324 10 ай бұрын

The biggest issue that made people angry with the dome wasn't the pointless crap they filled it with or the ridiculous cost it was the fact it was deliberately designed to last no more than a couple of decades pretty soon it'll either fall apart or they'll have to spend the GDP of a small country on repairs.

They made a slight mistake here (not on improving as that was obviously a joke). But the skit says its 63 years to 2001, so 1938. The Trains weren't nationalized until 1948 when the Government bought the private train companies.

The "Giant Tupperware Bowl" is a mickey-take out of the Millennium Dome that was built in Greenwich, London. When it opened to the public in January 2020 it featured numerous pointless 'zones' as they didn't really plan what to do with it after using it as a giant party venue for NYE for the Queen and Tony Blair. It's now called the O2 and hosts concerts and stuff (Fun Fact, I've been there a couple of times to watching taping of WWE Raw when it came to the UK)
