Directed by: Geoffrey Sax

'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 at 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 Norman, the invincible Alan manipulates his way through the world of drugs, pornography, fraud and murder. Worlds which have no place for scruples or diplomacy, worlds ideally suited to the Tory MP with the largest majority in the house.

Episodes:- 'Happiness is a Warm Gun', 'Passport to Freedom', 'Sex is Wrong', 'Waste Not Want Not', 'Friends of St. James', 'Three Line Whipping' and 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'.
