Detective Columbo has been called in to investigate whether there was a party at 10 Downing Street since we all already know the fucking answer.

The scruffy haired, poorly dressed Prime Minister Boris Johnson will welcome Detective Columbo to 10 Downing Street as part of the investigation into whether or not a party was held there during lockdown.

The detective is legendary for his ability to solve a case that we already know the culprit of - and with emails and pictures now confirming the event, the only thing left for Columbo to do is extract a confession.

Columbo and Johnson will face off in a battle of wits so one-sided that the camera crew that follows Columbo aren’t expecting to get much more than a minute’s footage.

“One of them pretends to be stupid but is actually very smart. The other pretends to be stupid, thinks he’s smart but is actually a moron. It shouldn’t take Columbo long,” said one crew member.

Boris Johnson claims to have a secret weapon in the battle of wits though.

“I’m going to be wearing my lucky underpants, the ones with barely any skidmarks. They’re the same ones I wore at the Downing Street party I organised and that was an absolute riot!” he told us.
