The duo, who hosted the ceremony for the second time in a row, opened the show with a monologue with plenty of “topical” gags.

Last month, Ms Truss again refused to apologize for the banking crisis, pointing out that “mortgage rates have gone up around the world” and reiterating her criticism of Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey.

Beckett continued the opening monologue: “Late last year, Ncuti Gatwa became the 15th incarnation of Doctor Who.”

“At least someone could get a doctor’s appointment – am I right guys?” joked Ranganathan.

Beckett said “there, someone ordered a double policy”, to which Ranganathan replied: “Bit of topical”.
