'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. With no morals, no depth to which he wouldn't sink and no plot too cunning, following the antics of such an immoral MP makes for unbelievable nonstop comedy.
This DVD box set features all four series of 'The New Statesman', culminating with the feature length special 'Who Shot Alan B'Stard'.

Comedy holds a mirror to society and what a polished looking glass this DVD set is.
Watching the DVD I am finding it difficult to tell where the fictional characters end and my memories of the MP stories of the time begin.
