Tory WomenEpisode Number: 3 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Monday November 24, 2003 Prod Code: ENTC193W |
How does one go about re-launching a junior shadow spokeswoman who has been marginalised in the Tory party?
She referred to her leader as "pork bum" and her last ditch attempt to stay in the mainstream of politics is to sponsor a 'Right To Retire' campaign.
The politician in question is 'spokes-bore', Joanne Standing, shadow spokeswoman for work and pensions.
Charles reluctantly takes on her campaign which seems to promise little in the way of glamour, or more importantly, money.
It's just another bad day at the office but when Charles starts to sprinkle some of his magic dust the consequences are unpredictably successful.
Elsewhere Martin believes he's in danger of serious physical assault from an irate celebrity chef, whose latest restaurant opening night Martin has managed to cock up.
