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?

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 2015TV review: Rory Bremner's Election Report, BBC2
The shock result, however, probably meant that he and his writers - who include familiar circuit comics Chris Coltrane and Andy Zaltzman - had to rip up some of their work done in advance and start virtually from scratch. Taking that into account some of this is pretty good.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 13th May 2015Video: Making an impression on the new government
Rory Bremner had said the previous coalition government was devoid of characters, which made his job as an impressionist difficult. So will an all-Conservative government provide the comedian with better material?
