“I need support NOW,” screams Matt Hancock, monsoon rain lashing his anguished face in the Vietnam jungle. His droopy features bear the haunted tautness of a soldier who has Seen Too Much.
There will come a point where the public humiliation of Matt Hancock is not funny anymore. We are not at that point yet. Indeed, Hancock’s appearance on the first episode of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is the most satisfying instalment on what we may call ‘Hancock’s Self-Imposed Public Flogging Tour’ or ‘Hancock’s Sorry/Not Sorry Road to Non-Revelation’, or even ‘Matt Wants You To Treat Him Like A Bad Little Boy Even Though He’s Innocent of Everything’.
