Timely commentary on the British Press
Even thought this series was produced in 2003, the depiction of the British press and the manipulative tactics they undertake to get their story is very timely and makes me think of the current phone hacking scandal in the UK. The way the story unravels through the persistant digging by the reporters is very exciting. The focus of guilt keeps shifting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This works better as a movie that you watch all at once, rather than the episodic treatment currently seen on BBC America. I recommend the DVD.
