The New Statesman has been quietly earning a loyal audience, and right now it's all available in Australia on Britbox Apple TV Channel , and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Britbox Apple TV Channel . Rik Mayall leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.
British production values give The New Statesman a feel distinct from American and international alternatives. The New Statesman is a British sitcom of the late 1980s and early 1990s satirising the Conservative government of the time. Rik Mayall and Michael Troughton lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 4 seasons (1987–1992), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, The New Statesman is a strong candidate — fans of Just Friends will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
