Writers: Richard Ingrams and John Wells / Designer: John Clark / Music Composer: Jeremy Taylor / Cartoons: William Rushton / Producer: Stuart Allen
Comedy based on the sucessful Joan Littlewood stage production taking wholesale pot-shots on life at Number 10 Downing Street, home at the time to Prime Minister Harold Wilson.
The show was scheduled to have been broadcast 23 November 1968 but former Foreign Secretary George Brown objected to his characterisation in the production and managed to have some scenes re-recorded. It also wasn’t fully networked across the ITV regions either.
