As TV game shows compete to get bigger, better and more daring, this original movie premiere takes a sideways look at the future of television. Ben Black is an anarchic TV presenter in destructive mode who will go to any lengths to win ratings.
Nothing is too vulgar, distasteful or shocking.
If there is a line to be crossed he will cross it, if there is a taboo to be broken he will smash it to pieces. He is a monster - and millions of viewers love him for it. Black's obsession with framing unwitting victims live on air creates chaos all around him. But we have already had the forerunners of the kind of show he does. It's all about going one better and in that sense has a whiff of Jerry Springer about it.
