Rory Bremner will return with post-election satire
Satirist Rory Bremner will return to BBC Two later this year with a post-election special.
Following the success of Rory Bremner's Coalition Report in February, the impressionist will front a programme in a similar vein after the General Election, which takes place on Thursday 7th May.
The BBC describe Rory Bremner's Election Report as a "timely post-election special", that will "focus on life after the vote, and the story of how the establishment makes sure that while parties come and go, the power-makers behind the scenes never lose out".
They add: "With a new government installed, who really runs the country? And how? Just before the new government sets out on its five year mission to austerity and beyond, we ask who has really won, and why."
Bremner said today: "Just three months after we finally did our first show about it, the Coalition will leave office. Was that a coincidence? Well, yes, it was. Entirely. But the point stands. The next lot will have a week to get their act together before we do. God knows what will happen. We certainly don't. And nor do they. Join us as we make sense of the nonsense. Or was it the other way round?"
BBC commissioner Shane Allen adds: "The political landscape in this election year has never been more fertile for satire. Rory's whip smart ability to add a healthy dose of ridicule to one and all will be a much needed antidote to the whole circus."
Rory Bremner's Election Report will be made by Vera Productions.
