Up next from the television network that brought us Game of Thrones, Girls, Sex and the City, Westworld and more, we have **Brexit: How Those 'Bad' Boys Fucked Everything Up.
Okay, that's probably not what it's going to be called but the concept is legit, you guys. Last night Nigel Farage and his pals from team Leave had a pre-inauguration party over in Washington DC. Bosses from American TV channel HBO were also in attendance which, of course, resulted in conversations with the Brexit 'Bad Boys' about turning the whole leaving the EU debarcle into a big budget, six-series drama. Yeah.
The Times reported that the show's focus would be on the Leave campaign specifically, and the key players behind it - Farage, obvs, Arron Banks (the guy who pumped a shitload of money into the Leave campaign) and Andy Wigmore (Leave.EU communications director).
Don't know how to feel about it? Us neither. Can we really fit all that happened in the run up and aftermath of the EU referendum into six hours of TV? Is it too soon for a docu-drama on a historical event that we're actually still living? How will it end? Will it end? Do we *really *want to relive how it all happened? Do we? The rest of the world already thinks Brexit (and Britain) is a bit of a joke. Do we really want to immortalise it?
The question that's on everyone's mind though - who is going to play who?! Don't you worry. As the Leave boys sipped on glasses of English sparkling wine and bobbed out of time to an electric string quartet's instrumental versions of Coldplay classics (true story), the topic did in fact come up in conversation.
According to The Times, the men joked about which Hollywood stars would play them in the series. I'm going to make an educated guess and say that playing Nigel Farage, HBO funded super series or not, is not going to be at the top of any A-lister's list of dream roles. Just a hunch. But it's cool though, Lord Ashcroft apparently said that he would play himself.
Of course, we're going from conversations that were had between a bunch of people at a party, so who knows how, what or when the series will materialise. I'm just really hoping Farage doesn't have anything to do with the script.
