Aprašymas
During a bright sunny day in London, a meteorite falls from the sky and obliterates Westminster Palace. As luck would have it, every MP in the country is actually present when it happens. The Great British Parliament, and all its politicians, is destroyed in an instant. Some say it is a disaster on an epic scale. Some believe it is the chance for a new beginning. Other, more sinister forces see an opportunity for power. In the aftermath, as emergency teams sift through the rubble and the nation speculates on its future, a new media guru, a retired policemen, an unemployed graphic designer, and an internet porn star join forces to launch the most audacious reality show in television history: Who Wants To Be Prime Minister. With the world's media watching, and the fate of the nation hinging on the outcome of the ultimate talent contest, a Machiavellian figure slides through the background, setting wheels in motion that could see a mediocre and morally ambiguous civil servant become the most powerful man in Great Britain. Featuring lurid scenes of catastrophe, a dastardly assassination, a spot of illegal swimming, all sorts of political and sexual skulduggery, and a sizeable cast of characters including amateur porn stars, mysterious secret agents, spin-doctors, political bloggers, three famous television presenters all called Jeremy, and a skilful manipulator who might be the Devil, Bubble Goes Bang is high-concept satire, lampooning contemporary culture and poking fun at every establishment under the media spotlight.
