Chambo wondered if the drama might be for an existing show.

While Joel Morris pointed out one huge hurdle.
Surely they can’t make a TV film of Johnson’s handling of the Coronavirus crisis because Johnson’s handling of the Coronavirus crisis means that we can’t go near enough to each other to film things.

Perhaps Michael Winterbottom could choose a title from his own impressive back catalogue. For example:
‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’
‘The Killer Inside Me’
Or even “A Cock and Bull Story’.
