      I can see Blair having a rant at Corbyn in this style...

    Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! Why didn't we get this show in Oz??? The best story (and send-up) that I've ever seen for showing how bad these bastards were (and the new breed still are).

    Peter Richardson is brilliant. This is one of his best ever. I've watched it at least 5 times as well as most of Pete's film's and I love the fact that he's made so many people famous, Rik Mayal, Ade Edmonson, Jennifer Saunders, Robbie Coletrain.....and so many more. I LOVE THIS SILLY SHIT!

    I wonder why nobody in the U.S. has thought to make a film like this about Bill Clinton, Blair's prototype.

    One of the best bits of entertainment I have watched for many years, a great way to spin the truth.

    This is suberbly done-- "Oh shit, I killed again! Oh well, shit happens.," Need to create a high school study around these events and characters, comedy genius makes history palatable

    this is brilliant, these people knew how to put a skit together, and it still holds true today. it takes a great director to dial up a scene, whether it be campy, or it be humor's or it be turn of the century five stars for historical indurance

    Given our current President, Peter Richardson sounds more like Donald Trump than George Bush; In fact, I originally thought Peter was doing Dick Cheney.

    Not so much satire as a hoped-for real-life situation.
