Absolute Power: Series 1
Set amidst the murky world of Public Relations, this BBC series was adapted from a popular radio show and stars Stephen Fry and John Bird as Prentiss and McCabe, captains of 'spin' who run a well-established PR firm in Soho, London. This sharply written satire is full of delicious cameos and opens a wry window on the collusion between press and PR in a world where tabloids rule and five minutes of fame is a long-term career.
