The Party Line: Complete Series 1-3: A BBC Radio 4 Comedy
เกี่ยวกับหนังสือเสียงเล่มนี้
All three series of the satirical sitcom by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis, following the fortunes of a hapless backbench MP
Ever since he fell off the stage live on Question Time, Labour MP Duncan Stonebridge has been stuck in political limbo. Struggling with a tiny majority and a career that's going nowhere, he's caught between the impossible demands of his constituents and the dictates of Westminster - and constantly afflicted by the bane of all politicians: events.
Whether he's getting wound up about a wind farm, saving his party agent from a rabid Russian oligarch, fending off accusations of financial irregularities or losing a laptop full of top-secret government reports, life never runs smoothly for the beleaguered backbencher. So when an old friend makes him an attractive job offer, will he give up his seat for a cushy corporate role - or battle on in the hope that things can only get better?
Written by comedy kings and Now Show hosts Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis, this sparkling sitcom was first broadcast in 2005, and still feels topical and relevant today. James Fleet stars as Duncan Stonebridge, with a stellar supporting cast including Simon Greenall, Geoffrey McGivern, Sally Hawkins and Sarah Solemani.
