I forgot how awesome this series was. I'm watching it again after a couple of years and it hasn't lost anything. Alan B'stard is the perfect politician - is an absolute hypocrite, has no morals, only thinks about his dick and his bank account and will stop at nothing to get his way. A character made entirely of vices.
It might be a British show about British politicians but it's universally funny and even if some celebrity/politician jokes are lost on those that haven't lived in Thatcher's Britain, it's still hilarious.
