190 - Drop The Dead Donkey
This week we review Drop The Dead Donkey (Series 1 Episode 5)
Topical sitcom set in the production office of GlobeLink News, a television news company undergoing transformation under the hand of unscrupulous new owner Sir Royston Merchant.
Having recently acquired the company, the multi-millionaire media tycoon and business tyrant orders that the staff should start taking a more sensationalist, tabloid stance in its reporting.
Yuppie Gus Hedges (who speaks in a myriad of boardroom 'buzzwords' and clichés) is in charge of the transformation. Nervous news editor George Dent is too weak to stand up to Gus so it is left to his second in command Alex, to try and stop Gus ruining the station entirely.
Written by Andy Hamilton & Guy Jenkin
Produced by Andy Hamilton, Guy Jenkin and Denise O'Donoghue
Directed by Liddy Oldroyd
A Hat Trick production for Channel 4.
