Channel 4 to dramitise Tory ‘Partygate’ Scandal

Channel 4’s factual drama, Partygate, is centred around two fictional Special Advisors Grace Greenwood (Georgie Henley) and Annabel D’acre (Ophelia Lovibond) and based on meticulous research of real events inside Downing Street.

There will also be a guest appearance of impressionist Jon Culshaw as the voice of former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

It will tell the inside story in dramatic re-enactments interwoven with news archive footage and documentary interviews, showing the horrors of Covid unfold across the nation, while staff at Number 10 kicked back at a string of parties lubricated by quantities of alcohol.

Alongside Culshaw, Partygate will star Phil Daniels, Rebecca Humphries, Hugh Skinner, Charlotte Richie, Craig Parkinson, Tom Durant-Pritchard, Anthony Calf, Alice Lowe, Kimberly Nixon, Alice Orr-Ewing, Naomi Battrick and Edwin Flay.

From the makers of the BAFTA-winning dramas Killed by my Debt, The Left Behind and Murdered by my Father, Partygate will juxtapose the revelry inside the nation’s seat of power with the hardship and sacrifice being experienced across the rest of the country.

TV Critic Vivian Summers:

“Boris won the general election with three words, ‘Get Brexit Done’. Anyone who said that would have triumphed at an election, with the mood of the people at the time. If Corbyn had some bollocks and had said it he’d likely have been in Number 10. Sadly Corby had no balls and instead the nation seemingly put into power a self-indulgent moron.”
