Ali G: Da Ali G Show / Ali G Indahouse (2000–2002)

The role that started it all! Sacha first shot to superstardom on the small screen with his brilliant, tracksuit-loving stereotype who hilariously bewildered high-profile politicians and public figures.

The character was such a cultural phenomenon that he quickly graduated to the big screen for Ali G Indahouse, trading his Staines leisure centre for a seat in Parliament as an accidental MP.

It remains an absolute masterclass in deadpan brilliance, leaving us with immortal, culturally confusing one-liners like: "What's up with so many nuns working part time as strippers?"
