Plots(1)
Present day London: socially inept, exceptionally dull Minister Of International Development Simon Foster has caused outrage amongst his superiors and sparked a media-frenzy by accidentally mentioning a possible attack on the Middle East. Rabid, ruthless, profane and relentless Director Of Communications Malcolm Tucker has been sent in to pull the right strings, immediately dispatching Foster on a "fact finding" trip to Washington. From the back gardens of Northampton to Washington's West Wing, rest assured it can only get worse. (StudioCanal UK)
