DESCRIPTION:
(from BritBox's press release, December 2024) Journalist Douglas Bellowes' life implodes after a tweet about him allegedly making a sexist joke goes viral - in this provocative comedy drama from acclaimed writer Steven Moffat (Sherlock). Douglas and Madeline are co-hosts on a popular current affairs show. Madeline is young and sharp, Douglas middle-aged and highly respected. But a single tweet, claiming Douglas told a sexist joke at a recent wedding, tears Douglas's life apart. With the help of editor Toby, wife Sheila and agent Bentley, Douglas tries to save his career. Is he truly guilty - or a victim of cancel culture? And exactly how is co-host Madeline caught up in it all? An outstanding cast, including Hugh Bonneville and Karen Gillan, star in this timely series about gender politics and trial by social media. |
