Quotes
Tony Blair: So do you think reticence like yours is a specifically Scottish trait? Because I've always thought there are broadly two kinds of Scot, the angry ginger kind and the brooding, intensely private saturnine kind.
Gordon Brown: You ask this as a Scot yourself, of course?
Tony Blair: You may mock, but I am a Scot.
Gordon Brown: As well as being black and working-class?

The chase to Number 10

This is dramatic brillance, even though we already know the ending and what became of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. There's no car chases or sex scenes in this, no nasty deeds in hostels or saws or things like that. But still worth watching for sure.

If there's ever a biopic of David Cameron, then Neil Dudgeon of Midsomer Murders is the prime candidate to play him for sure.
