Michael Sheen would play Tony Blair again in The Queen (2006) and in The Special Relationship (2010).
At the time of commissioning Douglas Henshall was considered for the role of Gordon Brown, whereas Daniel Craig was considered for the role of Tony Blair.
Dropped by ITV who were concerned about its political content. Picked up by Channel 4.
Michael Sheen was playing Caligula in the evenings while rehearsing for this film.
Much of the plot is reportedly derived from the book "The Rivals" by James Naughtie.
"Tony Blair: So do you think reticence like yours is a specifically Scottish trait? Because I've always thought there are broadly two kinds of Scot, the angry ginger kind and the brooding, intensely private saturnine kind. Gordon Brown: You ask this as a Scot yourself, of course? Tony Blair: You may mock, but I am a Scot. Gordon Brown: As well as being black and working-class?"
