Meet the Ukippers
''Meet the Ukippers'' is a British documentary that first aired on BBC Two on 22 February 2015. The film follows the activities of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) in South Thanet, a constituency in South East England which had selected party leader Nigel Farage to contest the 2015 general election. Tracking the party's fortunes over a period of six months, the programme focused primarily on the activists who hoped to get Farage elected as an MP. While some attempted to explain UKIP's message, others were seen to express controversial opinions about race and immigration. Prior to its broadcast, some of the film's content led to one UKIP councillor being expelled from the party after she referred to black people as "negros". The film received generally positive reviews, with favourable comparisons drawn with a docudrama aired the previous week that had offered a fictitious account of Britain's first UKIP government. ''Meet the Ukippers'' attracted an audience of 1.42 million, giving BBC Two their best ratings for a factual programme broadcast in the 10.00pm Sunday evening slot since 2012.
==Synopsis==
The film follows the fortunes of Liz Langton, a hotel owner with a collection of porcelain clowns who was briefly UKIP's press officer in South Thanet, the constituency that selected Farage to fight the 2015 general election. It is 2014, and UKIP are enjoying a surge in popularity as Langton is seen attempting to deal with a series of public relations disasters that threaten to harm its public image. These include a remark made by MEP Janice Atkinson during a visit to the area when she described a Thai constituent as "a ting tong from somewhere", and revelations that Martyn Heale, the Chair of Thanet's branch of UKIP, had once belonged to the National Front. Langton brushes off both of these instances as minor follies, but is soon dealing with another PR catastrophe after a conversation with UKIP councillor Rozanne Duncan in which Duncan discusses her dislike of "Negros" and "people with Negroid features". She is advised to "tone it down a bit", but when details of her views are leaked to the media, Duncan is expelled from UKIP. Langton is seen to become increasingly disillusioned with the views of UKIP's members and eventually resigns from her post.
