Dominic Cummings is a shadowy figure. He loves strategy and challenges, and he loves to win. So, when asked to lead the pro-Brexit campaign, Cummings can’t resist. Benedict Cumberbatch delivers the chilling portrait of the man who took England out of the EU.

Toby Haynes, producer of Sherlock and Black Mirror, offers us a clinical analysis of the current “new politics”, based on the work of a Sunday Times journalist. His subject, Dominic Cummings, a lover of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and inventor of the slogan “Take Back Control”, was Head of Communication for the LEAVE campaign while trying out his theories on vote manipulation. “Everyone knows who won but no one knows how.”
