"The New Statesman" is a multi-award winning masterpiece of political satire. Rik Mayall stars as the ruthless Alan B'Stard, the egocentric MP who will stop at nothing to further his political career. Alan B'Stard is a man without morals. As a Conservative MP his political views place him somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan. There are no depths to which he would not sink, no plot too cunning. With the help of his transexual accountant Norma(n), the invincible Alan manipulates his way through the worlds of drugs, pornography, fraud and murder; worlds which have no place for scruples or diplomacy; worlds ideally suited to the conniving mind of the Tory MP with the largest majority in the house.
