A Bernie Presidency Was Foretold In 1988: A Very British Coup.

[TrollBuster9090]

Great mini-series. Worth dusting off and watching again. Plot: A very Bernie-Like man is elected Prime Minister of Britain.

1. Simple minded fool says, "Now it's your turn to go to hell!"

[Depaysement]

4. "The odd whiff of betrayal"

"We must do something about that."

[Depaysement]

2. One of the best mini-series ever, IMHO

Ray McAnally was a marvelous Irish actor. An lifelong socialist. RIP.

Great pulp fiction style book from my old buddy, Chris Mullin, and Alan Pater improved on that. Well directed by Mick Jackson, before he sold out to Hollywood schlock.

You may recognize Jim Carter, the actor who played the Foreign Secretary. He now plays Carson, the butler in Downton Abbey.

Music taken from Mozart's last piece, composed on his deathbed.

What a brilliant film.

Credo unum deum.

3. This was almost news-the-near-future, since Maggot was in fact ousted in a parliamentary coup in '90

She had her infamous Poll Tax to thank for that.

8. Thanks so much for this.

Evidently there were only 3 episodes.
That's all I can find.
Maybe it hit too close to home for the government and the BBC.
