Synopsis:

Inside the Commons follows Ministers and MPs high and low as they seek to navigate the machinery of the House, to make laws and fight their constituents battles. Inside the Commons will also introduce the nation to the people who keep the Commons working from the keeper of Big Ben, the Hawker responsible for keeping pigeons off the 19th century stonework to the gospel-singing tea lady of the Members Tea Room. It s no easy task. From crumbling stonework to leaky roofs, the series shows the challenges faced as staff strive to keep the country s most iconic and historic building functioning as a modern parliament.

Reporter Michael Cockerell presents a major new four-part documentary series produced by Atlantic Productions. Inside the Commons was filmed with unprecedented access and for the first time, going where cameras are normally forbidden. Travelling deep inside the corridors of the Palace of Westminster this series reveals what really went on behind the scenes during a remarkable year in politics, in the run up to one of the most unpredictable general elections ever.

A documentary series which shows the work done by Members of Parliament, both behind the scenes and in public proceedings in the House of Commons.
