David Cameron makes a bizarre guest appearance in the Serbian-language crime thriller The Last Panthers, where one of the characters asks for a haircut based on the prime minister's look.
The critically acclaimed series, shown on Sky Atlantic in the UK, is filmed partially in Serbian with subtitles. Shortly before its final episode aired, David Cameron gave an interview to the Spectator where he said it was his favourite current TV series: "It has a diamond heist and Serbian criminal gangs and it’s sort of quite good."
However, the prime minister may have been surprised when he sat down to watch the final episode, which aired a week after the interview.
An eagle-eyed viewer suggested BuzzFeed News should watch the show in question. So we did.
