“I think the exact response at the time was, ‘Eileen in Leeds won’t know who they are.’”“I think politicians must have a very low boredom threshold.

More surprising, though, is the painful price the star of Bremner… It was such a blow.“He was a very big figure in comedy – you just have to look back at radio comedy or at John Cleese’s book, where he appears on nearly every other page, to see that.”Rory has been spending lockdown in Oxfordshire with his wife and two daughters, having sold their home in the Borders where they lived periodically for a decade.As he continues to recover from knee replacement surgery he underwent just before lockdown began, the 59-year-old satirist says he misses spending time there.“When we bought it, I could see my life changing,” he explained.

Bremner has often suspected this to be the case and began to explore the possibility seriously when a close relative was diagnosed with the condition a few years ago. After all, live comedy is the breeding ground for the TV writers and performers of the future.”Comedy – particularly satire – is required now as much as ever, according to Rory, who also contributed to Spitting Image.“Humour, like music, is one of those things we share,” he said.“We’re not sharing it live just now, but we are sharing it on social media and with our friends.“It’s good and bad times for satire – it thrives on grotesques, but it’s hard to be more ridiculous than some of these narcissistic charlatans in charge across the world.Get a round-up of stories from The Sunday Post every week Rory Bremner didn't know his father very well, remembering him as a somewhat distant figure who died when his son was 18.

But on the other hand, as a comedian, my ADHD helps to make those steps, to make those connections.” He believes that there are “plenty of jobs where having a mind that is impulsive and uninhibited is actually a plus, rather than a negative.”“In hindsight, I probably took it at the wrong time,” he says.
