I'd forgotten Id seen this and probably shouldn't have. I must have seen the TV version because at the time there'd have been little other choice but I certainly wouldn't have been interested in politics or understood it beyond the humour. I imagine politics had changed so much since the original that it could only seem tame in comparison, and if anyone attempted politics on stage now I'd be sure not to go.
