Plot

TAll but the last episode of series 4 are on this disc, most noticeably "GLC" with a big budget biopic of the man of the people with Robbie Coltrane as Charles Bronson as Ken Livingstone, Jennifer Saunders as Brigitte Neilson as the evil ice-maiden Margaret Thatcher and Peter Richardson as Lee Van Cleef as Tony Benn. Falklands War spoofs "South Atlantic Raiders" and "South Atlantic Raiders Pt II", "Oxford"; soap opera-style sexy characters get turned on by education and do anything for a degree, and "Spaghetti Hoops"; an Italian businessman/freemason steals $200m and is shopped to the police, hit men and kidnappings abound, make up the rest.
