It takes courage, detachment, understanding and humour to portray so well this fictional dismantling of the British Monarchy in such personal terms. A Republican government wins the election in 1992, and overnight the royal family is dispatched to live on a poor and backward council estate. Brilliant handling of famous personalities, cutting social and political criticism, this is also terribly funny.
