The final episode of BBC One’s Roadkill was… well, it was an interesting one, to say the least.

Government minister Peter Laurence (Hugh Laurie) sailed happily into Number 10, after effortlessly ousting PM Dawn Ellison (Helen McCrory) from the top spot.

His many enemies – Rochelle Madeley (Pippa Bennett-Warner), Margaret Moore (Katie Leung), and Luke Strand (Danny Ashok) – were unable (or unwilling, in some cases) to do anything to stop him.

The press, too, proved powerless, refusing to publish any negative stories about the public’s favourite politician in the run-up to the election.

And Peter’s illegitimate daughter Rose (Shalom Brune-Franklin), too, seemed far less of an obstacle to his success than we predicted, too.

All it took was a kiss on the cheek, a promise to be there for her, and voila! She was well and truly on her old dad’s side.
