Drop The Dead Donkey
Synopsis
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). UK Broadcaster: Channel 4 Awards: 2 International Emmys, 1 BAFTA (Best Comedy Series) and 4 BAFTA nominations, x2 International Emmys (Best Popular Arts Programme), x4 British Comedy Awards, x1 Writers Guild of GB, x2 RTS Awards, x1 RTS Writers Award, x3 PACT Indie Awards, x1 TRIC Award
