1. The Politics of Boredom
Top comedian Matt Forde is joined by guests Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Miranda Green and Henning Wehn to explore how boredom shapes elections, leaders and politics.
Can boredom really explain modern politics? It might just be the most honest answer anyone's given in Westminster for years.
Top political comedian Matt Forde convenes his Focus Group in front of a live theatre audience with a brilliantly eclectic panel — chef and campaigner Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, political journalist Miranda Green, and German stand-up Henning Wehn — to get to the bottom of one of politics' least glamorous but most powerful driving forces.
