Just saw a trailer for 'The hunt For Tony Blair' and it looks like it could be good!!

When I saw the trailer I immediately searched the Epg but its 2 days short, it looks like it could be fun, I hope theres more to come.

[onyx39]

[Nom de ploom]

Thanks for the heads up.

the original Comic strips were a bit esoteric at times but good fun nonetheless.

I like Ross Noble - very funny guy...other nominees would include..

Rhod Gilbert
Kevin Bridges

as part of the main cast..they can do dead pan really well...make me laugh anyways

[The Excession]

Didn't think I'd be this much in the minority, but from the trailer it just doesn't appeal at all, although I may record it and give it the benefit of the doubt.

I remember the first series when it first aired and that was mostly dire and hasn't aged well at all. All IMHO of course.

[onyx39]

Enjoying it so far.

[onyx39]

Some nice old Rovers!

[jonny142]

Nigel Planer playing Peter Mandelson is spot on

[smithsi]

Loving it. Particularly brown type cast as psycho nutter!

[Langweilig]

I am PMSL at the portrayal of Gordon Brown. Life really does mirror art.

[Ginetta G15 Girl]

Absolutely hilarious.

Nigel Planar as Mandy was comedy genius and Stephen Mangan as Bliar was just perfect!

[Y282]

werent that bothered. not a patch on the old stuff imho.

dont look at the doorhaaaandles.

[The Excession]

Just watching it on +1 after watching Karl on Sky 1. loving it so far, the John Smith stuff is echoing stuff that I thought at the time.

(back when it's finished)

Love the bit on the train when he looks in on the nuns, harp back to Fist Full Of Travellers Cheques.


Followed by a quick line about not being a 'real' socialist.
