Dull

So Mr Walsh has set his own company up and the trials and tribulations of living life without a regular pay cheque has driven him into the arms of David Cameron and his off-shore tax-sheltered cronies.

The drama escalates as, oh gosh, John Walsh discovers there's a Labour candidate not doing his job. Well tell us something else that's new John. You could just as easily have found a Tory who is neglecting the most needy in their constituency. This is Politics in the UK in 2011. MPs are a shabby lot - we knew this without needing you to tell us.

This is not as its own publicity suggests 'thought provoking', 'comedic',or 'explosive'. It is genuinely tedious, self important, and - if this is 'the documentary of the year' - depressing in its shallowness.

At a time when we do need insightful political documentaries this is a shocking waste of time and resources.

With a running time of ninety minutes it is an hour and a half too long for my liking.
