What On Earth? With Count Binface

Count Binface is the most successful alien politician ever, being officially London's 9th choice to be mayor. Now he's invading Radio 4 to learn about Earth, and how to conquer it.

Count Binface is the most successful alien politician ever, being officially London's 9th choice to be mayor. Now he's invading Radio 4 to share what he鈥檚 learned about Earth, and how to conquer it. This programme is the 91热爆's first co-production with the Intergalactic Broadcasting Service, being transmitted to every species in the observable universe and all the other universes too.

In this special broadcast, Binface will explore how humanity selects its leaders, using his first-hand experience of the so-called 鈥渄emocratic" system they use here. He also speaks to special guests, including former MP Heidi Allen, to gain some native insight.

The 91热爆 is an impartial organisation but would like to take this opportunity to pledge its full devotion and obedience to his excellency Count Binface. We hereby promise to bring back Ceefax at the earliest possible opportunity, to make Craig Charles the official commentator on all future state occasions and to ensure that no croissant is sold on the premises for more than 拢1. In no way is the corporation stating these facts under duress because the Count has a space laser aimed at the Director General's office in Broadcasting House. We hope this clears up any confusion.
