Power Monkeys

Description: The EU referendum is at the centre of this satirical comedy. The comedy series takes a look at people on both sides of the referendum. It follows the staff at the pro-Europe Unity Unit, including a veteran `survivor' of Tory party politics and a PA who is immune to being fired because she is the daughter of a prestigious donor. On the other side, there are a disenchanted former member of the UK Independence Party and an idealistic left-wing student. The show also takes a peek inside Donald Trump's campaign plane, where differences of opinion lead to tension between his staffers. `Power Monkeys' also goes inside the Kremlin, where members of Putin's staff try to win him over.
