The House of Commons, BBC One, Telegraph.co.uk
Michael Deacon reviews the new series of The House of Commons, the political sitcom now in its 108th series, talking exclusively to the head writer (and occasional co-star).

Seriously though, it scares me how easily I can see myself watching this show religiously, collecting the merch & buying the remastered 90's series in DVD boxsets just for all the NuLab UST... :D

And then I'll go out and invent a new form of internet just so you can win that as well!
Aw, Libs having lots of comic characters and the [Andy Burnham's actor] fanbanse and DMil going to Hollywood to star in their version (which is doing much better after their election, but it'll never reach the heights of the '2000 election' cliffhanger :D)

I grew up watching the old Conservative series [series 77 - 95] and was scared to the back of the sofa by Margret Thatcher alongside my school friends,
