Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • The aggressively left-wing and outspoken "Ben Stanley" is clearly a parody of one of Britain's best-known political figures of the era (and subsequently), Ken Livingstone. The latter was, as leader of the Greater London Council, a thorn in the side of the Thatcher government for many years and the object of much execration in the right-wing press. He was equally unpopular in the Labour Party, whose official line he often opposed; but he still became Lord Mayor of London and held the post for many years. []
