It’s a marker of just how fast British politics moves these days that Partygate feels like a long-distant memory, but in actual fact, it happened surprisingly recently – and now, a Channel 4 docudrama aims to bring it all flooding back in eye-melting detail.
The show itself, which draws on the Sue Gray report, details how Boris Johnson’s team of advisors drank their way through a Covid-19 lockdown, throwing party after the party over the course of a gruelling year for the UK. While Johnson was exhorting people to stay at home, the docudrama aims to expose just what was happening behind the doors of Number 10, Downing Street.
