Series 1, Episode 1 - The Grand Design
It's only been 3 days since Jim found himself elevated to Downing Street, and already the strains of the job are beginning to set in. When is the point of 'last resort' for the ultimate deterrent? Should there even be one? Could the re-introduction of conscription solve unemployment? And how will he get some lunch?
