BBC Radio 4 Extra - Political Animals, Series 1, Humphrey

The chief mouser to the Cabinet Office, 1989-1997, reflects on life with New Labour.

Chief mouser to the Cabinet Office gives a cat's eye view of life at Number 10 under Tony Blair. With James Fleet. From 2012.

Notoriously photo-shy Humphrey was chief mouser to the Cabinet Office from 1989 to 1997.

With a robust vocabulary and a pretty earthy view of political life, he looks back on New Labour life at Number 10 under Tony Blair.

Starring James Fleet.

Series of scurrilous talks given by well-known, if unreliable, Downing Street cats.

Tony Bagley assists each feline to relate their trials and tribulations under four different prime ministers.

Director: Marc Beeby

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2012.
