The Hunt for Tony Blair is a one-off episode of The Comic Strip Presents…, a British television comedy, which will air on Channel 4 in Autumn 2011. The 60 minute film was written by Peter Richardson and Pete Richens and presented in the style of a 1950s film noir. It stars Stephen Mangan as the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is wanted for murder and on the run as a fugitive from justice. The film received its world premier at the Edinburgh International Television Festival in August 2011. Shot as a 1950s-style black comedy, the film imagines former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as a fugitive on the run from the police having been accused of a series of murders. These include the killing of his former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, although he is also implicated in the death of his predecessor as Labour Party leader John Smith. Determined to clear his name, Blair escapes from 10 Downing Street, but he is a man with no friends willing to give him sanctuary and a fervent media demanding his capture. He is pursued across a fog-bound London by Inspector Hutton and his sergeant who are helped in their investigation by Peter Mandelson and Gordon Brown. Blair is eventually aided by Margaret Thatcher who promptly seduces him. But it gradually emerges that Blair may be innocent of the crime he is accused of committing.
