Series 1 of Hot Metal. Classic mid 80s satirical comedy series about a tabloid newspaper, written by Andrew Marshall and David Renwick, and starring Robert Hardy in a dual role as well as Geoffrey Palmer (in series 1) and Richard Wilson (series 2). Brilliant cult comedy that was clearly an influence on long-running 90s TV newsroom comedy series Drop the Dead Donkey (with its central premise of a mad billionaire buying up a respectable enough media outlet only to immediately send it completely downmarket (Robert Hardy is essentially playing sort of both Gus Hedges and Sir Royston here). Loved this as a kid, still do.
