Barenaked politicians: Film-maker Jack Price spent two months following Tony Blair around for a Labour Party election broadcast and ended up feeling quite green. So he tore up his party card. Quite understandable. You never know where that Tony's been, where he's about to go next.
Shown just before the last general election, [RealPlayer] Leadership's candid fly-on-the-wall look at the Labour leader left many viewers feeling queasy too.
Price's film added to the personality cult around Tone, said the Tories. Still tugging at the memory of the blessed Margaret, they know a thing or two about personality cults.
Is it really 20 years since Thatcher had her finest moment? BBC 4, getting better all the time, ran Ian Curteis' The Falklands Play the other night with Patricia Hodge giving a good impression of the Leaderene in full and devastating control. [Guardian].
Looks like Tony is following in her goose-steps.
Ever controversial, Price's new party broadcast, for the Green Party, due to air this month, breaks new political ground (at least for the UK) by featuring nude models. Its catchline is: 'We've never looked so good'.
Given the alternatives, I'm starting to agree. [BBC].
