Make Me Prime Minister: How does the Channel 4 show work and who is in the line up? | The Sun

CHANNEL 4 are bringing their viewers a brand new series that is set to lift the lid on what it really takes to be the PM.

Make Me Prime Minister will even feature Tony Blair AND David Cameron.

What is Make Me Prime Minister and how does it work?

Make Me Prime Minister sees 12 ambitious candidates with strong views from across the political spectrum put through their paces.

They will be put on the campaign trail in a raft of prime ministerial tasks set and adjudicated by political heavyweights Alastair Campbell and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi.

The candidates will need to persuade and convince former politicians, experienced journalists and most importantly the public, that they have the charisma, vision, and political acumen to lead.

Across the series, the candidates will be whittled down until just one secures victory to be crowned Channel 4’s Alternative Prime Minister.

Who are the judges on Make Me a Prime Minister?'

The show's judges are Alastair Campbell and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi.

Alastair was Tony Blair's spin doctor, while Sayeeda was the first Muslim woman to serve in the cabinet.

Speaking to Channel 4 about the show, Sayeeda said: “Serving as Chairman of the Conservative Party and a Cabinet minister in a coalition government, I was convinced values and ethics matter as much as political ideology.

“So Alastair Campbell and I are putting aside our political differences to focus on what it takes to lead. I hope we can inspire a new generation of passionate voters and politicians.”

While Alastair added: “Done properly, being Prime Minister is about a tough a job as anyone can do.

"It is great that so many people think they can do it and I am looking forward to working with Sayeeda Warsi to guide and challenge them to see if they really have what it takes."

When does the show start on Channel 4?

Make Me Prime Minister kicks off TONIGHT (September 27, 2022) at 9.15pm on Channel 4.
