Channel 4's Coaltion couldn't have picked a more topical time to air.
The 90-minute drama about the formation of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government in 2010 was shown tonight (Saturday, March 28th) and looked into the rising popularity of Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg during the Leaders' Debates and the political wrangling that followed the General Election in May 2010.
Bertie Carvel, who played Nick Clegg, has previously said the drama written by James Graham was "meticulously researched" and Graham had insisted what was presented in the drama is all based on fact.
The political parties launch their campaigns this week and turn all their attentions to May's vote, with further televised debates planned - adding an interesting twist to a reading of Coalition. Could we be facing a similar situation come May 7th?
What were your thoughts on Coalition? Was it a fair representation or has one party emerged better than another?...
