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. The seven controversial episodes of the second ITV series chart the ruthless career of the new statesman, demonstrating his flare for conspiracy and devious money-making schemes. Causing anarchy amongst the politicians, members of the press, the judiciary, the world of advertising and the City is nothing new for B'Stard. He boats the biggest majority in the House of Commons and demonstrates that ego means never having to say you're sorry.

Episode titles: Fatal Extraction, Live From Westminster, The Wapping Conspiracy, The Haltemprice Bunker, California Here I Come, May The Best Man Win, Piers Of The Realm.
