Number Ten
The British Prime Minister — known to everyone as Number Ten — decides the only way to understand why his popularity is flagging is to go undercover. He enlists Jack Sprat, his unflappable police-officer bodyguard, to accompany him on a journey across Britain incognito. What begins as an attempt at political damage control spirals into farce and genuine peril for both men as their true identities threaten to surface.
