Prudence at Number 10

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I like John Prescott. He reminds me of the Labour politicians I knew back in the 80s: working class, sincere and useless.

Prudence[1] at Number 10 is a fictional diary purporting to be the private thoughts of Prudence Harbinger, the new (United Kingdom) Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Director of Media Liaison, but actually written [2] by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran [3], the authors of the column's predecessor "Alan B'Stard's Diary.

In the first episode[4] we are introduced to a single fast-track career civil-servant who carries a torch for the Iron Chancellor since working on his team a decade ago. Her heart leaps when he rings her to renew their ( strictly working) relationship...........
