The read
The series ran 1 season across 6 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.
Synopsis
A spoof of the British news — including ridiculous stories, patronising vox pops, offensively hard-hitting research and a sports presenter clearly struggling for metaphors. Adapted from Radio 4 series 'On the Hour'.
