Synopsis

Good old seasonal fun as YTV's late night political programme Calendar Commentary ventures out of its usual format to pit a team of Conservative MPs from the YTV region (including a young... well, younger William Hague) against their Labour counterparts in a one-off special. Prizes consisted of a commemorative Maggie Thatcher plate for the winners (as it turned out, the Conservatives) and a 500-piece jigsaw of John Major and his wife, Norma, for the losers (Labour).
