Screenplay: The Vision Thing

on BBC Two England

Richard Wilson puts aside Victor Meldrew in his first television role since One Foot in the Grave. He stars as Prime Minister James Forth; who thinks God is talking to him, in journalist Mark Lawson's first TV play.

It's three days before the General Election and the party chairman George Salisbury and his ambitious young spin doctor Michael Fisher have their work cut out in trying to keep the news from the public. They must also ensure a smooth handover of power once victory is assured.
