Part 2

A Storyville documentary. The untold story of the Brexit negotiations... from the other side, with exclusive access to the EU parliament's representative Guy Verhofstadt.

The gripping untold story of the Brexit negotiations... from the other side. For two years, Belgian film-maker Lode Desmet has had exclusive access to the Brexit coordinator of the European parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, and his close knit team. This revelatory fly-on-the-wall film captures the off-the-record conversations and arguments of the European negotiators as they devise their strategy for dealing with the British.

Episode two follows the rollercoaster events from December 2017 to the present day. Europe watches on incredulously as divisions in the British parliament and cabinet become more bitter and leave the talks paralysed. Eighteen months after the referendum, Britain still does not know what it wants and spends more time discussing internally than negotiating with Europe. Respect for Britain turns to irritation and finally ridicule.
