The Rise and Fall of Boris Johnson Channel 4

[LadyEloise1]

Anyone watching?

title edited by MNHQ, at OP's request.

Any good? I find C5 documentaries a pit patchy quality-wise usually but this one sounds quite good🤔

Oops it was Channel 4🙈
I shall get the title changed.

Afternoon, @LadyEloise1 we've edited your title as requested. Hopefully that will avoid any future confusion.

Thank you @LivMumsnet

Just binged this- excellent! Thanks OP for the heads-up.

Thanks for this - have watched 2 seconds and already stunned by Matt Hancock preening himself for the cameras 🤣 know I'm going to love it!

Made me depressed and angry at the stupidity of people electing him.
I always thought of him as a big blonde entitled toad and never bought into his bumbling persona. Being a serial cheater should have been enough info to determine his lack of integrity and morals for all to see even without anything else.
Do we even know how many children he has dotted about?
He was elected because people thought he was funny. Not exactly the most important quality we need in a leader.
A good programme though.

Just started watching this , only thanks to insomnia and a lack of anything else to watch.
I'm twenty minutes in and thought I knew all there was to know about him, maybe more than I wanted to know.

I've met him several times over the years, not at all by choice merely circumstance.
Yet Im fascinated by his early years and what shaped him.
So far I'm finding it a really interesting accidental find.
How it pans out, I've no idea.
I'm sure it won't be long before I'm screaming at the tv but its incredible that we didn't know much of this before.

Yep, didn't take long.
How the f#*k did ANYONE take this moron seriously.
I think it highlights more what is wrong in our political system than its strengths.
I'm hopeful, though not confident, that we'll never see his like again in the top job.
But if nothing else, he's proved that anything is possible in this country

I found it boring and even slightly stank of sycophants. The "fall" was the last 20 minutes of episode 4.
Misold by the title.
I preferred Partygate.

I've tried twice to get through the first episode, just couldn't watch any more, I hate him so much.

thanks for the recommendation OP!

Is it a recommendation? Not sure whether to try it.
