Watch a clever comedy .....



After a long exhausted day, reading becomes mission impossible. Watch a clever comedy or drama could be the best way to relax before bed.

After chewing up classic comedy “Yes Minister” & “Yes Prime Minister”, I just finished another almost equally sweetly ironic and witty BBC comedy – “Absolute Power - Welcome to the world of public relations”.

Absolute Power originally debuted on BBC Radio 4 in January 2000. Series One: 5 Jan-9 Feb 2000, Series Two: 30 Jan-6 Mar 2001, Series Three: 1 Jan-29 Jan 2003, Series 4: 5 Feb-26 Feb 2004.

Full of smart dialogues, laugh out loud guaranteed.


Absolute Power
UK, BBC, Sitcom, colour, 2002
Starring: Stephen Fry, John Bird, Zoe Telford

Prentiss and McCabe are an unscrupulous pair who run the blue chip PR agency Prentiss McCabe. Dealing with commercial as well as personal PR, their remit covers everything from political communications to celebrity media relations. Their manipulation skills are tested to the full as they frequently find that their work brings them into conflict with political parties, newspaper editors and celebrities.

A satirical comedy about a world in which style triumphs over substance, tabloids are the new judge and jury and where five minutes of fame is considered a long term career.
