从搭足腔调的《大臣》《首相》到出口必带F的《幕后危机》，从撒切尔的保守党政府到布莱尔的工党政府，唐宁街还是那个唐宁街，BBC还是那个BBC，(破烂熊当然也还是那个破烂熊)，这次的倒霉蛋换成了社会事务部。大臣休·艾伯特和他的班底，有无穷无尽的屁股要擦，有没完没了的骂要挨，每一天都在诚惶诚恐鸡飞狗跳颠倒黑白、还有来自马尔科姆女王铺天盖地的脏话中度过……最令人发指的是，这一切都在一种冷静冼练的手提拍摄式的新闻摄影风格中呈现，现场感十足，要的就是让你相信，政府就是这样尽皆癫狂。这部BBC于2005年拍摄的政治喜剧，囊括了当年包括BAFTA的各项喜剧大奖，据说已经被美国看上要翻拍。

Special double-length episode of the award-winning political comedy.
1、Rise of the Nutters:
It's the end of the Christmas recess, and pea ce and goodwill should reign in Westminster. But something goes terribly wrong on Newsnight and everything begins to unravel. Can Malcolm Tucker survive as the PM's enemies in government and the opposition bid for power?
2、Spinners and Losers:
The Prime Minister resigns six months too early and all hell breaks loose at Number 10. Malcolm Tucker's political career hangs in the balance. He has just seventeen hours to spin himself back into power, and it's going to be the longest night of his life.
3、Opposition Extra

Following the PM's resignation there is a cabinet reshuffle and Hugh is to be replaced as secretary of state for Social Affairs and Citizenship. Unfortunately only one person is interested in taking on the post, obscure junior minister Nicola Murray. True she is very keen but she also has a fear of lifts, a husband whose firm gets government contracts and a daughter about to start at a private school. Tucker is appalled but the only other likely candidate is his left bollock with a smiley face on it so he has to steer Nicola very carefully through a by-election poster launch with the press, advising her to make a few sacrifices for the good of the department.

Peter Mannion is now secretary of state for the Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship. Spin doctor Stewart Pearson, on PM's orders, instructs him to launch an education initiative, to the annoyance of junior minister Fergus and the embittered Glenn. Glenn is supported by Terri, who is fed up and wants redundancy. Peter's brief is to launch an Apps initiative in a local school but the press conference shows him to be wholly out of touch with the subject. Ultimately he must reconcile with Fergus at a further press call to gain street cred - and just about does it.

Michael Cockerell presents this documentary revealing a remarkable year leading up to the General Election. Cameras have been given unique access to the House of Commons and the result is a vivid and extraordinary picture of what goes on behind the scenes, providing a profound insight into how our democracy works. Following everyone from MPs to doorkeepers, and clerks to clockmakers, Inside the Commons explores how the nation’s most important – yet largely unexamined - institution really works. We follow MPs from different shades of the political spectrum as they navigate the machinery of the House of Commons to fight their constituents’ battles. We experience the challenges faced by the staff of the House as they strive to keep the country’s most iconic and historic building functioning as a modern parliament. This is the heart or our democracy as never seen before.
