Best of Enemies (TV series)

Best of Enemies is a British comedy television series which first aired on ITV between 6 August 1968 and 16 July 1969.[1] Rival Conservative and Labour MP's are forced to share an office in the Houses of Parliament. The two characters are inversions of their stereotypes with the Tory a more modest man who rides a bicycle while his Labour counterpart drives an expensive jaguar. Coote had already portrayed an MP in the 1967 series The Whitehall Worrier, with which it shared a gentler humour.[2]
