 BBC launches Walking with Conservatives 30 Dec 2002 The BBC aired the first of a new breed of natural history documentaries tonight featuring a real presenter interacting with computer-generated "dinosaurs". In Walking with Conservatives, hyperactive adventurer Nigel Marven raced around deserts, jungles and the party's Central Office poking his microphone at the strange and wonderful species he found there. One of the first "beasts" he encountered was Conservative "leader" Iain Duncan Smith, who made a daring raid on his campfire in Smith Square during the night. Marven dashed out of his tent and ran through the undergrowth in scenes akin to The Blair Witch Project to confront the beast and proceeded to wrestle Mr Duncan Smith to the ground, but sadly could not hold on for long. Later in the programme the intrepid Marven found what he believed to be the abandoned nesting site of Tory MP Ann Widdecombe. Ms Widdecombe was, however, unavailable for comment, fuelling rumours that she ate her young and escaped into the jungle. BBC executives have meanwhile denied that the new programme is another example of them dumbing down their political coverage. Already long-running favourites On the Record and Dispatch Box have been axed in favour of the BBC News team's adaptation of The Rocky Horror Show in an attempt to make politics "more accessible" to viewers. "Walking with Conservatives is a shining example of political coverage in a new age of interactive television," said Director of Political Programming and Light Entertainment, Douglas Ramsbottom. "We hope to continue its success with a Walking with Labour programme, and possibly a Walking with the Lib Dems programme if we can find enough of them." A spokesman for the Conservative Party was too busy growling and spitting at the camera in an entirely unrealistic way to comment.
