So topical it’s not written yet…

Broadcast during the climax of the May 2015 General Election the highly topical 5 x 30 min sitcom intercuts between the various campaign buses of the four main parties – Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and UKIP. On each bus, we follow the fortunes of a rich collection of characters; Press officers, line managers, empathy consultants, SPADs, IT wizards, social media monitors, political analysts, interns and even bus drivers – as they crisis manage the latest dramas and developments.

Following the success of their 2015 election comedy Ballot Monkeys, Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin returned to Channel 4 in 2016 with a six-part satire, titled Power Monkeys, lampooning the fictional communications and social media ‘experts’ on both sides of the EU referendum, as well as taking audiences a few doors down from the Kremlin and into the imagined world of Donald Trump’s campaign plane.
