A sitcom set in the offices of a broadsheet newspaper that's struggling to keep up with both the print and online output. Our Review: This show made a very positive impression on us. It was a clever and very accurate satire on all that is wrong with the world of modern journalism and the increasing trend for newspapers to try and boost circulation with celebrity stories, rather than undertaking any proper reporting. |
