The Project Government

Government

Concluding part. Maggie is initially delighted at being elected MP for Wroker, but soon finds her principles being sorely tested during controversial votes. Meanwhile, Paul is equally elated to have secured a position at Downing Street : until he discovers his former allies are now actively working against him as he helps to draft the Freedom of Information Bill. Although their professional paths diverge, both friends suffer disillusionment and see their initial idealism being compromised as the harsh reality of political life takes its toll. Drama set against the backdrop of New Labour's rise to power in the 1990s, starring Naomie Harris, Matthew Macfadyen, Andy Clark and Irene Lloyd
