We seem to be going through a dry patch when it comes to political comedy in the UK. Headcases on ITV hasn't really hit the mark  (think a poor attempt at Spitting Image meets a sad imitation of Toy Story) but don't worry, all is not lost. Hollowmen on the Australian  channel ABC, is brilliant.

Set in the offices of the Central Policy Unit (set up by the Prime Minister to help his election) the series follows the lives of the men and women behind the scenes. It's a brilliant piece of work (and apparently to those in political circles in Canberra very close to the mark sometimes). You can watch the latest episode here. This is a world of words, blink factors and whistle levels. Watch it.
