The New Statesman

In the first episode of this hilarious new political comedy, we meet Alan Beresford B'Stard, an unscrupulous young politico, who will stop at nothing to get elected to parliament.

Alan's wife, Sarah, inherits a million pounds worth of shares, which enables her to fulfill her deepest wish - to leave Alan. But Alan B'Stard MP knows a politician needs a wife.

Alan realises that joining a moral crusade can be extremely profitable... with hilarious consequences.

Tory MP Alan B'Stard's dirty dealings have finally caught up with him. Five years ago he accepted £55,000 to get rid of a lorryload of Argentinian nuclear waste but his financial advisor Norman Bormann tells him the lock-up garage storing the sludge is earmarked for demolition!

Alan organises a parliamentary fact-finding expedition to a sun-kissed Carribean island whose only export seems to be the world's strongest marijuana!

Alan is booked to appear on TVAM to discuss an important by-election result. Unfortunately, an all-night sitting in a notorious house of ill-repute means he has no idea about the election result.
