A Christmas special for exploring the premiership of Britain's favourite and most Hugh Grant-y prime minister; and for connected purposes.​

Errata
In the episode, David was given 10 points for Majority, borrowed from Tony Blair (the Prime Minister at the time). We then realised that Tony actually only got 9.5 for Majority, so David gets that too. However, we also changed the system so that First Lord of the Treasury grants half a point for Practice, so his overall score is unchanged.
