Network: BBC1 and BBC3 Summary of Anthony Head's storyline: Episode 3.01: The establishing scene shows the PM and Gregory returning to 10 Downing Street. Sebastian greets the PM at the door with a kiss on the cheek and shuts the door in Gregory's face. Inside, the PM and Sebastian are in a meeting with Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Times has run a story that the PM's government had an arms deal with Iran. The PM assures the Chancellor that no such thing has happened. The Chancellor warns him that if it were true, he would face opposition for the party leadership. Sebastian jumps to the PM's defense and gladly shows him out at the PM's request. Once alone, the PM asks Sebastian to lock the door and says he has to show Sebastian something: something private, sensitive and possibly explosive. Sebastian, being Sebastian, interprets this sexually and says he wants it badly. However, it turns out that the PM is talking about a Top Secret file which he hands to Sebastian and asks him to shred. Sebastian takes a peek and is shocked to realize that the PM had indeed made an arms deal with Iran. He is devastated to realize that the PM isn't perfect after all. The PM is frustrated with Sebastian's hesitance and firmly asks him to do this as a favor. Sebastian agrees but on the way out the door, he stops and decides to ask the PM for a favor in return. Cut to Sebastian on the couch having a cup of tea, while the PM is next to his desk - wearing nothing but a studded leather thong and dusting the desk with a feather duster. Sebastian reminds him not to forget the bottom shelf, which means that the PM has to turn around and bend over, giving a happy Sebastian a nice view of his naked bum. Episode 3.02: The Prime Minister is at Parliament for Prime Minister's Questions. The Leader of the Opposition (previously seen in episode 2.01) is mocking the Prime Minister by referring to pictures on the front page of The Sun, which he claims show how old and tired the PM now looks. The PM, rather lamely, only responds by saying he hasn't seen the paper. The Leader of the Opposition gladly holds up a copy, showing that it has two pictures of the PM, one from the 80s and one more recent photo (Note: The photos are actually a publicity photo of Tony from around the time of the Gold Blend ads and a publicity photo as Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.) The Leader suggests that it is time for the PM to retire. The PM starts to respond by saying that his appearance is not relevant. Before he can say much, the door to the chamber opens to reveal Sebastian. He starts singing Beautiful (by Christina Aguilera) to the PM while slowly walking into the room. Most of the room sits in bemused silence, except one man who starts waving his lighter in the air. The PM is in shock and doesn't react when Sebastian takes him by the hand and leads him over to the other side of the room. Sebastian sings the song into the Leader's face before leading the PM back to his chair. He finishes by placing a gentle kiss on the PM's forehead. He then leaves the room, making a "Call me" gesture to the Leader of the Opposition on the way. The room sits in shocked silence until the Leader asks if they can get Sebastian on their side. Episode 3.03: The PM and his wife, Sarah, are in his office looking at the headlines in the latest issue of The Sun: "My Love Affair with PM". Sarah is upset about the humiliation factor and Michael assures her they will get through this. He hugs her in comfort. At that moment, Sebastian enters the office. The PM tells him that Sarah is upset. Instead of leaving the two alone, Sebastian walks over and hugs the PM from the back. Sarah breaks away but Sebastian keeps his arms wrapped around the PM and even kisses him on the shoulder. Sarah leaves as her car has arrived. Sebastian jokes about the story in the papers which has also been written as a book. He assumes that the story is a lie. But the PM admits that it is true. It was a long time ago while he was still an MP and Sarah has known about it for some time. Sebastian is hurt and shocked, acting as if the PM has been unfaithful to him. He demands more details and wonders if it is still going on. The PM insists it was 15 years ago. Sebastian claims he can smell her in the room, and asks if she has ever been there. He goes over to the couch and acts out the various sexual positions he imagines they used. He heads back to the desk and demands that the PM have her killed. He calls MI5 for the PM but the PM ends the call, claiming it was a wrong number. He insists that he needs Sebastian's support during the next few weeks and if Sebastian can't do that, he'll find someone who will. The German Chancellor has arrived and Sebastian opens the door for him and says, "Slut's over there". Episode 3.04: The PM is leaning over his desk when Sebastian enters the office. Sebastian is happy to have the PM back from his holiday but when the PM straightens up and turns around, Sebastian is shocked and horrified to see that the PM has grown a mustache. He makes his displeasure clear, stating that it tickles when kissing. The PM points out that he won't be kissing Sebastian but Sebastian says that if they ever did, it would tickle. The PM says that Sarah likes it. She enters the office and agrees, calling it 'dishy'. Sebastian says he wouldn't know since he's not gay. He insists that no one will vote for the PM now. The PM feels that people vote for him for his policies and not his looks. Sebastian doesn't agree. Sarah leaves but not before she and Michael share a rather passionate kiss. Sebastian acts offended as usual. Still, when the PM asks Sebastian to work closely with him on a proposal, Sebastian isn't interested. The PM says he'll get someone else and calls in Gregory. The PM even mentions that Sarah will be away for the weekend and he could spend the whole time working with Sebastian. Sebastian shrugs this all off and finally yells that he doesn't fancy the PM. Gregory enters and he likes the mustache. Sebastian tells Gregory he can have the PM if he wants. Episode 3.05: The establishing shot has the PM and Sebastian returning to 10 Downing Street. The PM's wife is waiting at the door to pose for a photo op, but Sebastian pushes her out of the way. The PM and Gregory are going over a proposal for an Israeli/Palestinian peace conference. Gregory goes to get some information and discovers Sebastian kneeling outside the door. He accuses Sebastian of spying and Sebastian denies it. When Gregory leaves, Sebastian, still on his knees, goes over the PM at the couch and sits down far too close to him. Sebastian complains that Gregory is going to the peace conference instead of him and tries to change the PM's mind. Unfortunately, his attempts point out why he isn't the best choice. For example, he suggests the Israelis have it during the week and the Palestinians take the weekends. Gregory returns and ridicules Sebastian's ideas. Sebastian retaliates with his usual accusations about Gregory being in love with the PM. He throws a fit that, even by Sebastian's standards, is extreme and tells Gregory that the PM is only using him for sex. After Sebastian leaves, the PM and Gregory sit back down to return to work. After a moment, the PM turns to Gregory and says, "I do love you, Gregory". Gregory says he knows that. The two then share a kiss before getting back to work. Episode 3.06: The establishing shot has the PM and his wife doing a photocall outside 10 Downing Street with Sebastian hovering in the background. When someone calls out for a kiss, Sebastian immediately jumps in to plant one on the PM's cheek, pretending he thought they meant him, not Mrs. PM. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrives for a meeting with the PM. He reminds the PM that they had a deal and the PM says he'll stick to it. He tells the Chancellor that he will hand in his resignation that afternoon and the Chancellor should be voted the new PM by the end of the week. Sebastian is horrified by this news and the PM insists it is true. The Chancellor tells Sebastian that he will be working as the Chancellor's aide soon but Sebastian insists that he will be staying with Michael. When Michael says that he is retiring from politics and the Chancellor will be the new PM, Sebastian says he doesn't like the Chancellor because "he's all fat and Scottish". The Chancellor and the PM agree to meet at Commons for the announcement that afternoon. After Sebastian shows the Chancellor out, he bursts into hysterical tears when the PM thanks him and tries to tell him goodbye. The PM hands him a handkerchief which Sebastian wants to keep, informing the PM that whenever he has a good blow, he'll think of the PM. The PM gives Sebastian a going away gift of a Swiss watch. Sebastian says he has something for the PM as well. He tell the PM to close his eyes. When the PM opens them, Sebastian is standing in front of him, completely naked. The PM is shocked and speechless. Mrs. PM enters at that moment, takes one look and walks back out. Sebastian inches his way right up to the PM. |
