Like him or loathe him, Boris Johnson has been a controversial figure over the past two decades, with many career highs and lows, as well as various scandals, including high-profile affairs, political gaffes and, of course, Partygate.

This week, C4’s in-depth four-part docuseries lays bare the former Prime Minister’s unconventional childhood, his career and his eventful private life.
