A comedy series built around the 2015 British election campaign. The programme follows the campaign buses and their electioneering staff as they cope with events, polls and media responses. The plot is kept relevant by recording during the week it is to be broadcast and therefore news items are reflected in the script.

I nearly soiled myself
I cannot believe the above review. I think I might have woken the neighbours with the racket I made (I watched on 4od just now). There were so many good lines - & visual jokes - I couldn't keep up. It was absolutely priceless. Andy Hamilton is a bit of a genius. Admittedly the guffaw quotient dropped off, but that was probably a good thing (for my neighbours). It got slightly subtler but still with a lot of belly laughs. The cast were uniformly superb. They were caricatures, but no more than in the Thick Of It. There were desperate men (& women), people resigned to their fate, stupid people, devious people, nice people, weird people, all horribly trapped in a confined space. The writing was witty & the timing excellent. It was delicious.
