Outstanding Blend of Politics, Corporate Greed, Detective Work and Investigative Journalism
This is a five star+ mini-series, exquisitely written, with a superb plot and cast.

It is a must-see for anyone considering a career in journalism--the untiring curiosity and unceasing questions that must be asked to uncover the truth.As the threads of the plot unravel, evidence of other motives and sub-plots emerge. So finely are the layers woven together, that the viewer is glued to the screen waiting for more. Read the other multiple reviews for specifics of the story. But, do watch this outstanding piece of British drama.
