Here’s some fun, someone’s uploaded all the episodes (we think) of Crisis Command: Could You Run The Country to Youtube.
A few years ago we were slightly annoyed the pandemic one hadn’t been uploaded, but here it is now.

God so much hammier than I remember! Great and really interesting show though. Surprised no-one’s tried to do something similar to this again.
The founder of Yo Sushi was on one of the other episodes and I remember him being all over TV in 2004 for some reason! Commissioners clearly wowed by sushi conveyor belts at the time!
Always amused this programme’s title, during its torturous journey from pilot to series to leftover episode flung out months later, went from “The Bunker: Crisis Command – Could You Run The Country?” to “Crisis Command: Could You Run The Country?” to “Could You Run The Country?”. If they ever showed the other episode they dropped, they might have been down the question mark. I did enjoy it, though, and in work I do sometimes say “Your decision will be enacted, minister” to colleagues. I am such a card.
Simon Woodroffe’s appearance was pretty memorable, he virtually destroyed Liverpool and was still at the end saying he wouldn’t have done anything differently. It’s a good job I don’t like sushi as he was so stupid on there I might have boycotted Yo Sushi in protest.
Never had heard of this before now, very interesting and engaging to watch though definitely feels weird watching some of these given events of the last 20 years.
