When Boris Met Dave

David Cameron’s years as an Oxford undergraduate will be the subject of a More 4 docudrama, the first dramatised depiction of the Tory leader.

The programme, which has the working title of When Boris Met Dave, will look at the student experiences of Cameron and his contemporary Boris Johnson, now the mayor of London, in the late 1980s.

Jonny Sweet, a comic actor featured in E4′s The Inbetweeners, will play Cameron, while Johnson will be portrayed by Christian Brassington, who has played a young Tony Blair.

The drama will bring to life the Oxford of the day, including the activities of the notorious Bullingon Club, a dining society to which Cameron and Johnson belonged.

While Cameron studied politics, philosophy and economics at Brasenose College, Johnson read classics at Balliol College.

Between them the two Old Etonians embody the revival of the Tory party, with Cameron seeking to build on Johnson’s electoral success in London last year with a general election victory in 2010.

However, there have been reports that they are rivals as much as colleagues, with a piece in last week’s New Statesman claiming relations between them had “reached breaking point” – although Johnson later dismissed this as “piffle”.

The new drama will go back two decades to examine the roots of this partnership. “We have talked to those who knew them at the time to document the roots of the two men at the forefront of the current recovery of the Tory party,” said director John Dower.

“Everyone has seen the famous Bullingdon Club picture, but this film goes behind the scenes to find out what Oxford was really like for David Cameron and Boris Johnson.”
