I'm not really sure where to put this, it's not properly a video nor is it a movie...
In case any fans of British comedy have missed it, there is a show currently on netflix streaming called 'the comic strip presents' featuring most of the casts/writers of Young Ones and Ab Fab. It is an mix of short films, many of them spoofs of various genres. Some are brilliant, some not so much, but it is fun to see what good actors the lot of them are.
And there is one episode I found to be a stand out as far as carrying a political subtext that has become disturbingly true in the last 20 years since it was made.

It depicts former tory PM John Major raised as a circus clown and in that persona he meets his opposite number in the labour party and they discover just how much they have in common. The conclusion they reach is quite precient for it's production date of 1990.
Besides, it's worth it to see the performances of Adrian Edmundson and Dawn French in the lead roles. Not the sort of acting they usually do, but that's the fun of this series!
