It is a sitcom about an earthy, fading Disco queen (MacDonald) who is appointed Governor General by a sleazy Prime Minister who hopes she will disgrace the position, allowing him to eliminate it entirely.
Each episode has her becoming embroiled in one scandal or another -- usually not of her making -- only to have things resolve in her favour by the end. Reid plays her prim and proper executive assistant, Torrens her flakey, gay secretary, and Dinicol her laconic, level-headed son. Cournoyer plays the Prime Minister's sleazy aide.
Barry Flatman played the P.M. in the pilot, but did not appear in the regular series.So far six half-hour episodes (plus the hour long pilot) have aired on the CBC.
