James Graham - The Grudge
4 Extra Debut. The truth of the historical assassination of a prime minister threatens to unseat a safe Tory candidate. Stars Robert Bathurst.
A wry political comedy from James Graham. The only British prime minister ever to be assassinated was shot as he entered the House of Commons. Two centuries later, as the turbulent elections of 1997 loom, could that event change the political landscape of a sleepy rural constituency, its settled incumbent and unwitting electorate?
Director ..... Peter Kavanagh.
