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...."
