Sky One has launched a new four-part reality show titled 'The Wargame', which explores a fictional scenario of an imminent nuclear strike on Britain by Russia. The programme features several real-life politicians in key government roles.
In the show, Michael Gove portrays the Prime Minister, with Nicola Sturgeon as his deputy. Harriet Harman takes on the role of Home Secretary, Sayeeda Warsi is the Attorney General, and Penny Mordaunt acts as Defence Secretary.
The narrative begins with a Cobra meeting called after the assassination of two RAF pilots and a malware attack on regional ambulance services. A Russian spy ship is later found in British waters, positioned over undersea cables critical to national infrastructure.
