This series tells the story of Boris Johnson, from boy to man to prime minister - and now beyond.
For this special bonus episode - recorded just after the Privileges Committee found that he had deliberately misled the Commons over lockdown parties at Number 10 - we're looking back at his first year after Downing Street.
From his last-ditch attempt to regain the Tory leadership to his controversial resignation honours list to his fulminating response to the Privileges Committee report, we look at Boris Johnson's post-prime-ministerial career and ask what's coming next - will he be back?
