    Default B'stard is back!

    Alan B'stard, the sleaziest MP ever to crawl out of a hole, brilliantly played by Rik Mayall in the 1980s sitcom The New Statesman, returns once more with a whole new catalogue of corruption to his name. Whereas he was formerly an extremely Thatcherite Conservative MP, he has since crossed the floor to join New Labour ("They are young, they are sexy and they are much more rightwing than the Conservative party.", said Mayall).
    Alan B'stard begins his new life on stage on the 19th April in Brighton, the writers for the show saying that "Only one man can save Tony Blair, and that's Alan B'stard."

    Amusing. Still, it gives the impression that all politicians are bad, which can only damage politics.

    I'm not sure whether to move this to the mudpit or Art sub-forum...

    I love the B'stard, he was a fine addition to the yes minister stable of comedy, though i think mr Prescott could teach him a few tricks. i'll look forward to the likely DVD,

    thanks for the notice. :laughing:
