A dramatization of the Partygate scandal starring Jon Culshaw as Boris Johnson will air on Channel 4 tonight (Tuesday October 3).
The factual drama will tell the story of the gatherings that went on inside No 10 during the various lockdowns of the Covid pandemic.
The programme, from the makers of the Bafta-winning dramas Killed By My Debt, The Left Behind and Murdered By My Father, is based on “meticulous research” of real events inside Downing Street, the broadcaster said.
Impressionist Jon will feature as the voice of then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, while W1A star Ophelia Lovibond and The Chronicles Of Narnia actress Georgie Henley will play fictional special advisers Grace Greenwood and Annabel D’acre.
