The West Wing - UK version

[Phony Moderate]

This is pretty cool I think....even if I don't particularly like any of the people in it.

Aren't West Wing-esque programs already a pretty big genre in Britain?

Political thrillers are, yeah. Expensive starry-eyed soaps about politics, less so.

I miss The West Wing

Why don't the Brits just make a comedy show called "The Prime Minister's Question?" I watch the real thing on C-Span every Sunday and I laugh so hard at it that my sides ache. If this was done right with a witty prime minister, bumbling opposition leader and a cast of eccentric parliamentarians than that might be the bets show ever made.

I try to watch it every week to... I will say that it's far more enjoyable to watch than Senate or House proceedings because American debates are so staid and boring. The Brits do it right.

I wish there were a show based on British politics like the West Wing.

I'd imagine the whole Joe Wilson controversy must have been mystifying to the Brits.
