Fun fact: Harold Macmillan did in fact go to see "Beyond the Fringe" in 1962, and the performers did realise he was in the public. The actor who portrayed MacMillan on stage ad-libbed: "When I’ve a spare evening there’s nothing I like better than to wander over to a theatre and sit there listening to a group of sappy, urgent, vibrant young satirists, with a stupid great grin spread all over my silly old face"

It's okay, he found his true calling as a mad scientist working for Cersei Lannister.

This is one of the few things for which there was ample evidence to get it right,

I like the interpretation of Macmillan, he was a nice guy and people could see through it and felt it gave them an opening to be rude and unkind with him. From his wife, to the comedians and ending with the Queen who called him a weak man to his face! Had he had the pride of Winston and Anthony, he'd have resigned when he first wished to and most likely, the Queen wouldn't have insulted him

Poor guy his wife made him a fool couldn't take the pressures of the job when he was doing it for years prior It I guess got to him
