Real people with a fictional premiership[edit]

The following is a list of real or historical people who have been portrayed as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in fiction, although they did not hold the office in real life. This is done either as a near future or alternate history scenario, or occasionally for humorous purposes. Also included are actual British Prime Ministers with a fictional premiership at a different time and/or under different circumstances than the one in actual history.

  • Prime Minister in Crossed by Garth Ennis. During the outbreak of a contagious, zombie like virus in the United Kingdom, the country is plunged into anarchy as entire cities become vast charnel houses forcing the Prime Minister and his staff to evacuate to a government bunker in Yorkshire. Brown falls victim to the infected due to an internal outbreak within the bunker, leading to the near total collapse of the British government.
  • Prime Minister in The Trial of Tony Blair, portrayed by Peter Mullan. He succeeds Tony Blair (played by Robert Lindsay) in 2010 (having stayed on as Prime Minister for longer to oversee the government's handling of the invasion of Iraq and the resulting terror attacks on London). Brown wins the 2010 United Kingdom general election over the Conservative leader David Cameron (played by Alexander Armstrong) but only by a razor-thin majority of two seats after Blair leaked memos from Brown as Chancellor saying that tax increases were inevitable, having feared that Brown would win a larger parliamentary than he ever did. After that, Brown manipulates events to ensure that Blair is charged for war crimes and put on trial at The Hague. Whilst visiting Blair in hospital, Brown says that he will base his premiership on 'honesty' as opposed to charisma as Blair had done.
  • Prime Minister in The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling
  • Party: Industrial Radicals
  • In an alternate history where Charles Babbage managed to build a functioning analytical engine, Brunel is granted a meritocratic lordship and succeeds Lord Byron as Prime Minister after his death in 1855 during the 'Great Stink' and the resultant civil and political unrest.
  • Prime Minister and leader of the Radical Industrialists in The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling.
  • Became Prime Minister in a reality where Charles Babbage managed to build a functioning analytical engine, bringing about the Information Age a hundred-and-fifty years early. His election victory in 1830 prompted the Duke of Wellington to launch an unsuccessful coup d'état. He would seemingly govern for twenty-five years until his death in 1855 during the 'Great Stink'.
  • In the alternate history novel Dominion by C. J. Sansom, World War II ended in June 1940 when the British government, under the leadership of Lord Halifax, signed a peace treaty with Nazi Germany in Berlin. Due to poor health, Halifax resigned as Prime Minister in 1941 and was succeeded by Lloyd George, who was then 78 years old. His second term as Prime Minister lasted until his death in 1945. He was succeeded by Lord Beaverbrook, who served in that position until October 1953.
  • Prime Minister in the 1987 graphic novel Watchmen and Kim Newman's short story "The Germans Won"
  • In the 2025 episode of the satirical 1994 BBC Radio 4 comedy series A Look Back at the Future, Ken Livingstone becomes Prime Minister and head of a radical left-leaning government whose policies include the reduction of the powers and privileges of the monarchy. A second English Civil War is sparked at an extremely frugal State Opening of Parliament, resulting in the exile of King Charles III to a remote Scottish island (Livingstone having remembered midway through the royal execution his objections to the death penalty), the abolition of the monarchy, the establishment of a republican Commonwealth and the elevation of Livingstone to Lord Protector.
  • Prime Minister in 1926, in the Alternative History/Time Travel story "A Slip in Time" by S. M. Stirling,[5] featuring a history in which the First World War was avoided and the Austro-Hungarian Empire survived.
  • The story, takes place mainly in the alternate Vienna. A Vienna paper read by one of the characters makes a reference to "Lord Milner, the British Prime Minister, considering the lifting of martial law in Ireland if there were no more outrages".
  • In actual history, Lord Milner died in 1925 of sleeping sickness, with which he was infected during a visit to South Africa. Evidently, in the history where he became PM that visit was avoided and he survived.
  • Prime Minister in the popular Hearts of Iron IV mod Red World, he is assassinated in late 2010 and is succeeded by Shirley Williams. At the game's start he holds the record for longest serving Prime Minister in British history, serving since 1989. Owen leads a stronger SDP which has replaced a fragmented Labour Party by 2010.
  • Prime Minister in My Hero episode scene set 10 years in future (2015)
  • In the parallel universe featured in the 2006 BBC Four adaptation of Random Quest by John Wyndham, Smith was the Prime Minister in 2006. At this time, the United Kingdom was suffering severe drought, leading Smith to declare a state of emergency. There was widespread panic throughout Southeast England and Wales as the reservoirs have been dry for months. Tony Blair was the newly appointed Minister for Drought.
  • In a parallel universe featured in the Sliders Season Four episode "Asylum", Thatcher collaborated with the Kromaggs when they invaded her Earth. She agreed to give them access to the oil reserves in the North Sea in exchange for leaving the United Kingdom alone. After the end of the Kromagg War, collaborators came to be known as "Thatchers."
