Quotes:
[Now led by Gordon Brown, Labour have just won a fourth term in office - but with an absurdly small majority. Gordon rings Tony.]
Tony Blair: Gordon, my congratulations.
Gordon Brown: I am heading for a majority of two, for God's sake. Two!
Tony Blair: Well a majority's a majority.
Gordon Brown: It's going to be a bloody disaster.
Tony Blair: It's the historic fourth term, Gordon.
Gordon Brown: You are electoral death!
Tony Blair: I don't think you can blame *me* for what you call your ludicrously small majority.
Gordon Brown: You've held onto power for far too long, Tony.
Tony Blair: Oh really? Well quite frankly if I'd packed it in sooner you'd only have had more time to balls it up, wouldn't you?

This satire is very amusing and shows how fickle politics and politicians are, however the show most not be taken too seriously. If you keep in mind the insane nature of the story, you may very well enjoy it as much as i did. Robert Lindsay is brilliant as Blair, but then he is brilliant in almost all of his roles, he does however nail Blair when showing him as his grinning media self, the portrayals of Gordon Brown and of David Cameron are also very funny, though the physical likeness of both is questionable the voices and actions are perfect.
The humour is biting throughout but then again so is much of the political comedy in Britain. If you are prepared to take this show at face value i am sure you will thoroughly enjoy it. I cannot wait for the second installment.
