Stranger than fiction but rooted in fact, A Very Social Secretary is the portrayal of a political scandal that spun out of control and straight on to the front pages for press and public scrutiny.
Alistair Beaton's feature length drama is a hilarious observation of high government, party politics and the media frenzy about the affair between David Blunkett and Kimberly Quinn.
Starting with David Blunkett's elevation to the Home Office and ending with his miraculous return to power as Minister for Work and Pensions, A Very Social Secretary traces the rollercoaster story - personal and political - of one of the most remarkable politicians of our time.
