I watched Ep 1 of "the Rise & Fall of Boris Johnson" last night.
Very good indeed, & unusually well-balanced. Usually we get a hatchet job or a love-in, but this all seemed very fair.
How Boris got elected is one of life's great mysteries. He's a celebrity, not a politician.
One well-placed Tory described him as "the greatest political liar of all-time", which seems fair.
How he got away with his brazen relationship with Jennifer Arcuri is another of life's great mysteries, & don't forget, he "gave her" Government money.
I don't know how many Episodes there are but I'll be watching Ep 2 tonight, for sure.

I havent watched any of them yet. There are 4 episodes, all of which are available now. If you scroll right from the "recordings" tab, you will arrive at the "available now" tab, you can download all the episodes from this tab. Alternatively you could just log into the CH4 app.
Yeah, I'm aware that the other Episodes are already available, as at the end of Ep 1 that "Next Episode starts in 20 seconds" thing came up. I was just too tired to watch it.
Last night was a typical evening's viewing for me, Football 8pm to 10pm (West Ham in Europa League), Golf (Arnold Palmer Invitational) 10pm to midnight, then a documentary or box set stuff until around 2am.
I need to watch that new "The Gentleman" thing too, think that was released yesterday.

The available now tab is quite handy. Where you find something you wish to watch part the way through the series. Or where you find something at the start of series 2, and you have missed the first series.

It was. I havent started watching that yet either.
I watched two more Episodes of the Boris Johnson thing last night.
So, so good. Very highly recommended.
This is right up there with the BBC's State of Chaos which was anchored by Lura Kuenssberg, & that's a very high bar.
It's a surprise to me that political documentaries make such good TV, but I suppose that's partly because we really have had some spectacularly bad politicians in the last few decades, with wardrobes stuffed full of skeletons.

I just did & will definitely watch it.
Some years ago i read a book about the spectacular rise & fall of Blackberry, "Losing the Signal".
Well worth reading, was thoroughly enjoyable.
