About this episode
10 Downing Street is a rabbit warren of offices in a Georgian townhouse, and the centre of power in Britain. But how much control does it really exert over the rest of government, does it matter who has what job, and should we turn the whole thing into a museum?
The political masterminds discuss how number 10 really works, and Polly explains why her husband thinks Canada is worse than North Korea.
