Look at the State We're In!: Nanny Knows Best

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Fifth of six short films taking a satirical look at state powers.
Starring Geoffrey Palmer, Prunella Scales, Alex Langdon

Young Frank believes, like Candide, that all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds. He thinks that of all the provisions to protect the interests of the citizen, none is wiser than the Royal Prerogative, which gives the prime minister the right to ignore parliament. Frank should have known better.

(The Status Quo is tomorrow at 7.05pm)
