6 x 1/2 hr - Format Only
‘Power Monkeys’ is a format that builds on the success and experience of ‘Ballot Monkeys’. It takes the same principle – that there is something intrinsically comic about the oily rags who have to enact the absurd decisions of those at the top... – and throws it onto a slightly larger canvass, encompassing both the domestic and the global.
We seem to be in an especially uncertain and worrying period of our history and this show would mine the general atmosphere of instability, paranoia and borderline insanity.
Like ‘Ballot Monkeys’, the show is startlingly topical and partly filmed on the day of transmission, so that we can commentate comically on the events that the audience will only just have heard about.
Again, like ‘Ballot Monkeys’, the UK version takes the audience behind the scenes to witness the absurd panics and machinations of the backstage teams among the inner sanctums of the Conservative Government, the Brexit campaign bus, President Putin’s office and Team Trump.
Format available.
