When Boris Met Dave is a docudrama of 2009 which investigates the shared past of David Cameron and Boris Johnson who, at the time of broadcast, were two of Britain's most influential Conservative Party politicians – Cameron as Conservative leader and Johnson as Mayor of London. Johnson went on to become the Conservative leader as well; with Cameron serving as Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016 and Johnson from 2019 to 2022. The film features interviews with people who knew Cameron and Johnson both at Eton College and Oxford, where they were both members of the Bullingdon Club. It recreates the 1987 Bullingdon Club photograph.{{Cite news |date=2016-02-22 |title=When Boris met Dave: from Bullingdon to Brexit – in pictures |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/gallery/2016/feb/22/boris-johnson-david-cameron-bullingdon-brexit-pictures |access-date=2023-01-06 |issn=0261-3077}}
