Synopsis:

A sitcom set in the offices of a London based Public Relations firm Prentiss McCabe. The company is run by Charles Prentiss and Martin McCabe.

BSG Review:

Clever satire which uses up-to-date events such as the Hutton report to extract comedy. Unsurprisingly Stephen Fry is excellent as the calm, all-knowing Charles Prentiss. Whilst this is not for the mainstream the initiated will love it.

Notes:

This programme was based on the four series of "Absolute Power" which were broadcast on Radio 4 in 2000 - 2004.
