Summary of Anthony Head's storyline: Episode 1.01: The PM is meeting with a new aide, Gregory, when Sebastian arrives. Sebastian is jealous and pouts. He insists that he needs to speak to the PM and Gregory leaves. Sebastian says he doesn't like the way Gregory was looking at the PM - like he has a mad crush on the PM. The PM doubts this and Sebastian says Gregory gets all nervous around the PM - of course Sebastian is being all giggly and nervous while saying this and eventually drops the papers he's carrying. He gets down to pick them up and then realizes he is now eye-level with the PM's crotch. So he refuses to stand up, preferring to stare instead. The PM eventually calls Gregory back in and asks Sebastian to leave. On the way out, Sebastian calls Gregory a bitch. Gregory sits back down on the couch next to the PM and after a moment says, "Ooh, you smell nice." Episode 1.02: The PM is meeting with Sebastian who claims that public polls indicate they want to see the PM in cycling shorts, like it when his hair is wet and want to see him wrestling a man. They are interrupted by the PM's wife who brings in his suit for a dinner that evening. After she leaves, the PM dismisses Sebastian so he can change. Sebastian "accidentally" walks back in just as the PM is in his boxers. He suddenly claims he sees a sniper in the window and throws himself on the PM knocking them both facedown onto the couch, with Sebastian on top. The PM inquires if they can get up now and Sebastian suggests they give it a minute. Note: This sketch was originally shown in the pilot episode. The pilot sketch was slightly longer and included a bit with the PM's wife coming in at the end and seeing Sebastian on top of her husband on the couch. Episode 1.03: The PM and Sebastian are reviewing the morning papers. The headlines are negative and Sebastian is trying not to cry. He can't hold back any longer after seeing The Sun's headline - "Dead As A Dodo". The PM goes to comfort Sebastian and Sebastian grabs the PM around the waist and buries his face in his chest. The PM rather awkwardly pats Sebastian on the back telling him not to be upset. The phone rings but the PM can't get Sebastian to let go and ends up dragging him along to the desk. The PM's car is ready and he has to leave. He walks to the door, eventually shaking Sebastian's grip. But as he continues to walk to the door, we realize that Sebastian is still holding his ankle and the PM ends up dragging him all the way out the door. Episode 1.05: In the only Prime Minister sketch without Sebastian, the Prime Minister is holding a press conference about a scandal in his cabinet. However, the reporters all represent odd publications (such as Asian Babes) even though they ask serious questions. The only reporter from a legitimate newspaper just wants to who the PM's favorite member of the boy band Westlife is. Note: This sketch was originally shown in the pilot episode. Episode 1.06: The Prime Minister (who, according to the narrator, is not the real Prime Minister, but just the guy out of Buffy) is meeting with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sebastian is, of course, at the PM's side. There is obvious tension between the PM and the Chancellor and the PM finally accuses the Chancellor of planning to stand against him for the leadership. The Chancellor denies it. The PM is very calm while still making his anger clear. Meanwhile, Sebastian interjects with disgusted noises and calls the Chancellor two-faced. Sebastian says the PM has nothing to worry about because the public will never choose the Chancellor, who is overweight and losing his hair while the PM is gorgeous. After Sebastian eggs him on, the Chancellor finally admits he is going to stand against the PM the next day. The PM very coolly asks Sebastian to show the ex-Chancellor out. Sebastian walks up to the Chancellor, slaps him across the face and tells him to get out. The PM is taken aback by this and then even more so when Sebastian rushes back over to him and starts to rub his shoulders while making plans for a manicure, pedicure and facial for the PM. Episode 1.07: The Prime Minister is meeting with Sebastian and other aides to review a speech. The PM indicates he is tired and asks the others to leave. Naturally, Sebastian remains behind. He ignores the PM's hints that he leave. When the PM gets a call from the Japanese PM, Sebastian asks to use the bathroom. The PM sits in a chair with his back to the bathroom and the bed. Sebastian emerges from the bathroom in a robe and brushing his teeth. He is annoyed that the PM is still on the phone. He walks over to the bed and, with his back to the audience, slowly, seductively drops his robe, revealing that he is wearing nothing underneath. He gets into bed and lounges there. After a moment, he picks up the phone next to the bed to ask how much longer the PM will be. The PM turns around to look in shock at Sebastian, who pulls back the covers and says, "Be gentle with me, Prime Minister." Episode 1.08: The Prime Minister is meeting with the Prime Mister of Italy, along with an interpreter. Sebastian interrupts to complain that the PM is flying to China in the morning, when he was supposed to be having a meeting with Sebastian. The PM explains why the trip is more important than Sebastian's agricultural report but Sebastian points out that he had his hair done and everything. He goes on to accuse Michael of using him and then just throwing him away (this is the only time we ever hear Sebastian refer to the PM by name). The interpreter has been repeating the entire conversation to the Italian PM and our PM finally asks him to stop translating. The PM pulls Sebastian aside and asks him to stop the hysterics and to shush. Sebastian refuses and says he wants the Italian PM to see what the PM is really like. The PM firmly says the meeting is off. Sebastian then says he has better things to do anyway. He claims that he has a meeting with the leader of the opposition. He then says goodbye to the Italian PM and goes to kiss the interpreter on the cheek. The PM finally snaps and orders him out. Sebastian storms out and the PMs sit back down. The Italian PM says something and our PM receives a translation: "If you love him, go after him." |
