Principal Characters
Whilst the programme focuses mainly on Tony Blair, people such as David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Cherie Blair and Brian Haw are regularly shown.
- David Cameron is shown as a politician believing in nothing and promoting everything - an accusation made against him by numerous newspapers in the UK.
- Gordon Brown is shown as moody and insecure. He is pressured into allowing the UN resolution to pass.
- Cherie Blair is shown, complete with her career as a QC, and her own legal firm.
- Brian Haw is a minor character, who takes to sitting outside the Blairs' home in Connaught Square, London, shouting "War Criminal" every time Tony or Cherie appear. His camp grows more expansive over the course of the story, with more accusing banners and placards appearing, perhaps symbolizing the rapidly increasing anxiety and pressure that Blair is under.
Although the Blairs have four children in real life, none of the children appear in the programme.

“For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.”
