At least 14 parties with white powders, sex and lots of fine wine and champagne while we weren't allowed to visit grandad in his care home. Made more as an info documentary with little bits of action here and there, i think most of us knew there was/is crooked stuff going on in whiterhall but even i didn't realise the full extent.
The actors playing the parts did well enough and the production seemed well enough put together.
There ought to be a part 2 where hopefully several arrests are made ands some people are languishing in a cell. Alas they get £50 fines while ordinary folks pay £10 000.

The Sheep will still Blindly listen and follow.
It's a shocking, but interesting story.
Back to the COVID outbreak, and Boris Johnson's government had many tough decisions to make, the country was put into lockdown, people couldn't see loved ones or dying relatives, all whilst no.10 partied.
Credit to Channel four for making this drama documentary, and for using Sue Gray's comprehensive report for its content.
It's well acted, although were they all such a privileged bunch of posh boys and girls? I hope they played the actual people with a degree of tongue in cheek. Clever that they don't focus on Cullshaw too much.
The interviews with ordinary members of the public have a real sobering effect, they really do hammer home what was actually happening in the real world outside of The Westminster bubble.
I wonder how much of this will actually influence the next General Election, it will be a while before the public trust the party again.
8/10.
Wine time Friday, wtf indeed.
