Remaking a beloved TV show comes with a simple problem: everybody already has opinions before you’ve made the thing. Change too much, and you’re accused of missing the point; change too little, and people wonder why you even bothered. Then there’s Saturday Night Live UK, which had the teensy-weensy added challenge of adapting one of the most American shows ever made for a British audience. And that was always its first hurdle, something London-born actor and producer Rafe Spall was quick to acknowledge when Collider brought up SNL UK during a recent interview about his Apple TV series, Trying. “In a world that has so many bad things going on, it’s nice to have a surprise every now and again, and one of them is that SNL UK turned out to be really good,” he said with a smile.
