Brexit: A Very British Civil War, tells the story of the year that changed the course of British history, airing in June 2026 to mark the tenth anniversary of the Brexit vote.
On the morning after the 2015 general election David Cameron emerged victorious after winning a surprise majority, and Nigel Farage, having failed to win a seat, resigned as UKIP leader. 13 months later the tables had turned. Britain’s vote to leave the EU had shocked the world, and it was David Cameron’s turn to throw in the towel. This series tells the story of how it happened.
In classic Brook Lapping style, the story is told only by those who were on the frontline of the campaign, inside the room when the key decisions were taken. The two-parter features interviews with key players involved including David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Michael Gove, George Osborne, Gordon Brown, Marina Wheeler, Bob Geldof and Seumas Milne.
