Polly Frame SAT Masha ..... Debbie Chazen SAT Andrei Zinoviev ..... Ewan Bailey SAT Steward ..... Adeel Akhtar SAT Producer ..... Sally Avens SAT Alistair Beaton and Tom Mitchelson's satire is set in the SAT world of modern newspapers. SAT A group of dysfunctional journalists attempt to cover major SAT news stories at the same time as grappling with the demands SAT of working in a multi-platform environment, watching SAT circulation figures plummet and the recession causing half SAT the workforce to be laid off. SAT At the heart of the comedy is the relationship between SAT Maddox Bradley, a journalist who mourns the day of proper SAT investigative journalism, and Freddy, the online editor who SAT will regurgitate a press release quite happily and call it a SAT story. But they have a grudging respect for the each other SAT as Freddy helps Maddox stay afloat in the world of Twitter, SAT Facebook and podcasting and Maddox shows Freddy how to sniff SAT out the real story. Both are at the mercy of Oliver, the SAT pragmatic Editor more concerned with keeping his job, and SAT Carol, the news editor who believes that circulation will SAT increase if they run pieces on Big Mac eating orang-utans SAT and 'intelligent' skunks rather than Maddox's moral SAT crusading diatribes. And only Masha, the Russian head of SAT online communities, who wants to give away all their content SAT because that is true democracy, knows Freddy's secret; that SAT he's a posh boy from Eton rather than a hypercool kid from SAT the street; well that's what Freddy thinks anyway.

He lives in his huge but slightly falling down TUE castle (but then it was built by the French so what can one TUE expect) with his daughter Anne (Montserrat Lombard) and very TUE teenage son Henry (Steven Kynman). Anne's best friend TUE Charlotte (Ingrid Oliver) nearly always joins Anne on her TUE constant quest to find fit men in the village.

TUE Unfortunately he can't take a hint and is besotted with Lady TUE Anne and Sir John thinks it a good match. Ah! what is a Lady TUE to do! Cardinal Duncan (Jonathan Kydd) (a man of the cloth - TUE in particular crushed silk which he loves), has to endure De TUE Warenne's incessant plans to woo Lady Anne and has little TUE time to peruse sweethearts of his own.
