There's no reason to resurrect Ali G

Andy Burnham won the Makerfield by-election with a campaign video set to Oasis's "Some Might Say"; Burberry's "Cool Britannia" campaign for 2026 features actor Stephen Graham pacing a football pitch with Bloc Party's "Banquet" blaring in the background; there are rumours Ed Balls might be granted a peerage and re-enter the cabinet. Amid this stream of New Labour-era throwbacks, it's fitting that another turn-of-the-century relic should now land: a new Ali G film, Ali G: Who Iz I?, is reportedly set to land in October this year.
