- Synopsis:
This unforgettable series brings corruption, greed and hypocrisy to the fore and drags it to the court of public opinion. No moguls, politicians or bankers are safe from exposure in this satirical comedy series. In the great tradition of mischief-makers like Michael Moore, Sacha Baron Cohen, Dorn Joly and Mark Thomas, Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein bash arrogant, puffed-up people over the head with an inflated pig's bladder: the politicians, the multinationals and the tax-shy billionaires who have been taking the mick out of the British public for years. Now it's their turn to be outraged, deceived, inconvenienced and humiliated. The series revolves around characters, pranks, and stunts such as presenting George Osborne with a GCSE maths book; making Tony Blair a Saint; clamping ambassadors' cars for not paying the London Congestion Charge (they claim they don't have to because of diplomatic immunity); and being sadomasochists at the doors of MI6's erotic new torture club. - Actors:
