SYNOPSIS
Disc 1
Episode
1
Reshuffle day at Number 10. Nicola Murray is so far down the list of prospective
ministers that Malcolm Tucker does not even have a file on her. But when the job at the
Department Of Social Affairs And Citizenship is turned down by everybody else, there is
option but to promote her to the.Cabinet. The downside is that Nicola is very keen.
And she has expensive ideas and ideals. And she has a husband who works for a
company that has Government contracts. And she has an 11-year-old about to go to a
private school. And she is about to face the media at a crucial by-election poster
launch. Suddenly, Malcolm has a file that is getting a bit too big for comfort. Something

Episode 2
Murray MP has been Secretary of State for just over a week. Already, there is
press speculation on how long she is going to last. And now, someone at the
Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship has completely wiped the immigration
records of 170,672 people.
Who is going to get the blame? Who is going to get the job of breaking the news to
Malcolm? And how is Nicola going to get through an entire lunch with the staff of The
Guardian [respected broadsheet newspaper] without revealing the catastrophic scale of
Nicola
the latest computer disaster?
Episode 3
New Secretary of State Nicola Murray is stuck in a hotel bedroom in Eastbourne, with
nothing but a laptop, a printer and a tiny kettle. She and Ollie are trying to finish her
speech for the annual Party Conference and things are not going well. However, Glenn
has brought in his secret weapon. Enter Julie Price: tragic widow, people’s champion
and regional photo opportunity. Is this the breakthrough they need, or the start of a ’tugof-Julie’ with Malcolm Tucker?
