As Star Trek: Discovery‘s first season finished last night in the US, I feel obligated to point out – as I haven’t already and I’ve now very nearly missed my chance – that if you’re wondering where you’ve seen ‘Ash Tyler’ (Shazad Latif) before, it’s very probably on Channel 4’s Toast of London.

For he is none other than Clem Fandango.
