RE: The Official Nonsense Thread
Sounds great - I'm guessing Rupert Vansittart played someone incredibly pompous as he always does?
Don't suppose you remember the comedy "Hot Metal" from C4 that used to be a staple for repeats, all about a former broadsheet forced to go tabloid to survive & all hell breaks loose (including breaking into Buckingham Palace & carefully puncturing all the condom packets with needles in order to run a "royal pregnancy" exclusive). Years ago I read a book called "The Town With No Twin" which centred on a local newspaper trying to stay alive. It was mildly funny, good enough for a crowded train but a little predictable. It was written by one of the old Not The Nine O'Clock News writers & I'd expected so much more. His other two books got similar reviews of being portable loo roll, which explains why one of them is now being made into a BBC drama. |
