ON TUESDAY NIGHT, TV viewers across the UK sat down to watch Nick and Margaret: Too Many Immigrants?

It featured Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford from The Apprentice, investigating the impact of immigration on UK society.

The show inspired heated debate on Twitter. But primarily, it inspired heated investigation of… this man’s incredibly tight trousers.

It did not go unnoticed.

There were immigration puns.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

There were comparisons to Jon Hamm. It even spawned its own hashtag.

I rate this FIVE Jon Hamms out of FIVE Jon Hamms! BBC One just broadcast this...package. #dickandmargaret https://t.co/EYalAkIlfH @gawker
