The BBC documentary Meet the Ukippers aired on BBC Two on Sunday.

It included a now-expelled councillor who said she had a problem with black people, an overworked press officer making sure people didn't say the wrong thing, and a huge, huge collection of clown figurines.

A lot of people found it pretty astonishing.

Things got off to a more-or-less benign start.


They escalated quickly, however.


Others suspected a conspiracy theory.


In the end many viewers were begging for more.
