Appalling. “This boorish, monosyllabic TV tyrant with the attention span of an Xbox-playing 11-year-old really is set to lay waste to the most impenetrable oligarchy the Western world ever devised.

I have a very strong memory that this was the show that Michael Wisher appeared as the person who is murdered at the end of Act 1, but I don’t see him in the programme. That was great, meeting him. “You like science fiction?” he said. “Keep reading it. That’s pure imagination.”
