A new trailer for This England has shown Sir Kenneth Branagh's full transformation into Prime Minister Boris Johnson for the Sky drama.
The clip was published on social media on Thursday and the resemblance between the Belfast man and the outgoing PM is uncanny. The six-episode series follows the impact on the country of the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic during the PM's first few months in the post.
The Sky original drama is set inside the halls of government and interwoven with stories from around the country.

The series also stars Broadchurch's Andrew Buchan as disgraced MP Matt Hancock, Ophelia Lovibond as Carrie Johnson and Simon Paisley-Day as Dominic Cummings.
Originally titled This Sceptred Isle, the series is based on the first-hand testimony of people inside 10 Downing Street, the Department of Health, and the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies.
This England launches on Sky Atlantic and NOW on Wednesday 21 September.
