Humphrey

Political Animals

Available for over a year

Notoriously photo-shy Humphrey was chief mouser to the Cabinet Office from 1989 to 1997. With a robust vocabulary and a pretty earthy view of political life, he looks back on New Labour life at Number 10 under Tony Blair. Starring James Fleet. Series of scurrilous talks given by well-known, if unreliable, Downing Street cats. Tony Bagley assists each feline to relate their trials and tribulations under four different prime ministers. Director: Marc Beeby First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2012.
