The Hunt for Tony Blair.
The Comic Strip team return for a special 50s-style ‘fugitive’ film noir spoof. Prime Minister Tony Blair, is wanted for murder and on the run. Escaping from Number 10 and leaving behind his adoring wife Cherie, Tony vows to clear his name no matter what the consequences. But on a foggy London night, Tony has few friends willing to harbour a wanted man. With front pages demanding his capture, Blair has no choice but to go on the run, with Inspector Hutton and his sidekick hot on his trail. The chase unfolds thanks to evidence gleaned from his ‘allies’ Mandelson and Brown, as well as an unlikely encounter with Margaret Thatcher. Surely Tony’s an innocent man, pursued for a crime he didn’t commit? The cast also includes Harry Enfield as Alastair Campbell, Rik Mayall as Professor Predictor, Morgana Robinson as Carole Caplin, John Sessions as Thatcher’s butler and Ross Noble as an ‘old Labour’ tramp.
