THE NEW STATESMAN COMPLETE SERIES 1 (2007)

GEOFFREY SAXGRAEME HARPER

Plot

Rik Mayall is at his speed driven anarchic best in this more often hit than miss satire set during the joyously immoral, buck driven years of Thatcher at her imperious, oblivious height. Alan B'Stard, MP, will stop at nothing to further his political career or fill his pockets. Morally bankrupt and more cunning than a fox that's just completed an iron clad deal with the master of the hounds, The New Statesman is a mad arse journey.
