Cult satirical comedy set in a fictional newsroom. The chief executive Gus is a management stereotype complete with cliches and clumsy metaphors, Henry and Sally the news presenters hate each other with a vengeance, the star field reporter Damien Day... strives to make every story as sensational as possible, and Dave the deputy sub editor strives to womanise and gamble. Extremely popular comedy with a great ensemble cast and a script that hilariously lampooned 1990s media, management and politics. Starring Stephen Tompkinson (Wild At Heart), Neil Pearson (All The Small Things), Victoria Wicks (Skins).
