Political comedy

Just watching The Amazing Mrs Pritchard -- a wonderful satire on politics. Humour, drama, it's got the lot. It's amazing to see some old names from British politics appearing as cameos, and the impersonations of other voices like Blair have been very good too. For a political junkie like me, a royal treat:-)

This sounds entertaining. I used to love a political satire show called 'Spitting Image' over here.

I remember Spitting Image well! If I recall correctly it started before I left the UK in 19thrumptysevix.

This show is also British: about a woman who accidentally (believably, almost!) becomes Prime Minister. Short series: six episode in the UK, and I imagine they'll show it as three doubled up episodes here.

British satire is so much better than US satire, let me tell you!
