So, President Bartlet (Sheen) is to hand over the office to President Santos (great name!). And with the hand-over, comes the final episode of the massively popular West Wing. I’m not certain why the show has been shunted off to More4, but it has, and it will sneak out of sight forever more tonight.

For seven series, the show has proven to be one of the better imports from the US, with excellent writing, and stellar acting from Martin Sheen & Co. Tonight’s double header sees Sheen’s Bartlet coming to terms with his loss of power, the upheaval of standing down, the affairs of the state and the end of an era.

Naturally, the show is a little soapy squeaky at times, but that shouldn’t detract from something that has been a real pleasure in its time on the air. You won’t know what you’ve had until it’s well and truly gone.[Mof Gimmers]

The West Wing, More4, 9.30pm tonight (Double Bill)
