See that dust swirling through the air, not yet settled? That'll be the result of the most hotly contested general election in many a year; and all grist, of course, to Rory Bremner's grinder. In this one-off special, recorded just after the results came in, the voice-wrangler takes a satirical look back at it all (his Farage ought to be a hoot) - and towards the future. Who were the real winners? How many promises will they actually keep? And, utimately, just what have we let ourselves in for?
Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 13th May 2015Rory Bremner on the new Tory cabinet
After the surprise of Thursday's election results, Rory Bremner will be trying to make sense of it all in a new show for BBC Two that he promises will involve fun, anger and polar bears.
Gabriel Tate, The Guardian, 13th May 2015Review: Rory Bremner's Election Report
I'm very fond of Bremner as a performer. His knowledge of politics is something that is often lacking in other topical comedy shows.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 13th May 2015Video: Making an impression on the new government

Comedian claims public don't know who politicians are - and Westminster is unable to keep up with social media change.
Jasper Jackson, The Guardian, 25th March 2015Rory Bremner will return with post-election satire
Rory Bremner will follow up his Coalition Report programme with an Election Report special after May's General Election.
British Comedy Guide, 4th March 2015Rory Bremner did his best, and that's always almost by definition a hit-and-miss affair on TV. You can get sharper satire from Steve Punt on radio's The Now Show, and he manages it weekly. But there were some grand moments, not least his Cameron (whose voice he's now pretty much mastered; less so Miliband), here attempting to find a Blairite third way. "People are fed up with the old politics, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. But both can happen."
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 8th February 2015Rory Bremner: Modern politicians have yet to impress me
"Programmes that send up politicians are a vital part of the political process," says the comedian.
Rory Bremner, Radio Times, 3rd February 2015Rory Bremner's Coalition Report review
Rory Bremner's Coalition Report didn't, well, make much of an impression; amusing enough but relatively tame... perhaps a symptom of a relatively timid BBC, under more pressure from politicians than ever before not to rock the boat.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 3rd February 2015Video: Rory Bremner's new TV show
As the master of satire, impressionist Rory Bremner has often turned his eye on the famous faces of Westminster. Now he has set his sights on the coalition government.
