“I was channelling past CNN and happened to see Piers Morgan in front of a blue backdrop,” he said, referring to the Good Morning Britain host’s now scrapped US chat show.

Blunt Talk was a low-key hit on cable network Starz last year, and is produced by Family Guy mastermind Seth MacFarlane.
Patrick plays Walter Blunt, a Falklands War veteran turned cable news journalist, starring alongside Jacki Weaver.
