A Very Social Secretary

Mon 10 Oct 2005 9pm-10.35pm
Wickedly funny feature-length satire about the affair between David Blunkett and Kimberly Quinn.

Stranger than fiction but rooted in fact, A Very Social Secretary is the portrayal of a political scandal that spun out of control and straight on to the front pages for press and public scrutiny. It contains hilarious observations of high government, party politics and media frenzy. Written by Alistair Beaton (Downwardly Mobile, Feelgood).

Says Beaton: "Tory ministers used to find scandal in low places. New Labour prefers to get its trotters into the top trough. This film explores how Blunkett became a metaphor for Tony Blair's decadent regime."
