Prime Ministers have always suffered the jibes of cartoonists' cruel humour, yet many of them are avid collectors of the very drawings in which they are lampooned. Former Conservative Party Chairman Kenneth Baker explores this love/hate relationship in a two-part documentary celebrating the art of political cartoons.

Baker traces the history of cartooning from the early 18th century when politicians were shown defecating and cavorting with the devil. Today, he says, a "genteel humour has replaced biting satire".

Among the cartoonists, historians and collectors he talks to former Radio Times illustrator Peter Brookes, now one of Britain's best and most respected political cartoonists.
