 Great watching! June 11, 2009
Daff (Portsmouth, England)
For anyone who has been involved in any way in politics or just has an interest in behind the scenes at Westminster this is a great watch and tongue in cheek insight! Love it.

S. Mckenzie (Surrey, England)
First caught an episode of this being repeated on BBC3 and bought the DVD on the strength of it. Plus the creators of This Life surely couldn't do wrong. Love the Westminster politics, the pace, clever dialogue and well-crafted romance. Stellar cast including the 2010 Dr Who. Don't understand why they didn't make another series.

A story of making the politicians, influencing electorate, leaving some space for private life and affection.
It is mostly for enjoying live TV operas in certain and of certain environment.
Politics never looked so good... February 9, 2009

Not dissimilar to the fabulous BBC show Teachers (set in a public high school), Party Animals uses the morally ambiguous world of British politics as the setting for a show about several twenty-somethings struggling to succeed in the world of politics, all whilst navigating the complications of romantic entanglements. Fast paced British drama that was cut short too soon, brilliantly written and acted starring the inimitable Andrew Buchan (Jane Eyre) as a lobbyist and Raquel Cassidy (Teachers) as a Member of Parliament. Not to be missed! On par with early Spooks & Hustle, Teachers and Life on Mars (UK vers).
Intelligent and entertaining February 27, 2008

Loved this - real grown-ups' telly and I don't mean lots of sex and gore as in how something like Torchwood is supposed to be "grown-up", but rather in the sense of being wise, thought-provoking, perceptive, politically realistic and about ideas and human nature. Not often that you get something so witty, grown-up, engrossing and ENTERTAINING on the box. The visuals and the acting were so convincing it felt like you were there, and I found I became very involved in it. There were sympathetic characters to engage with who would then go and do something unacceptable which was shocking but you could understand how they had got there. There were also plenty of out-and-out horrors who nevertheless had their moments of compassion so, like life, you never knew what was coming next. The drama was never pushed to the point where it lost credibility and some scenes still stick in my memory - like the shocking moment where a drunken friend/rival is hit by a car moments after an argument. Another scene where the lovers are stealing time (and the opportunity to have sex) in a white room in a country house, and although the relationship is all wrong, you can see how they got there and why that place and time has its attraction. It was a convincing portrayal of the nitty-gritty of politics from constituency meeting to Westminster. The whole thing is shot for realism, and it works, so even the style expresses the mores and obsessions of our time. Couldn't believe it was such a short series, and couldn't believe it didn't make it to a second series - what is WRONG with our tv culture that this didn't "succeed"? I am so glad it is out on DVD. I'm sending it to my mum because she loved it too. So there.
