SAT The paper gets a hot tip about a Lib-Dem MP. Could they be SAT about to unseat the coalition? SAT Maddox ..... John Sessions SAT Oliver ..... Alex Jennings SAT Freddy ..... Stephen Wight SAT Carol ..... Polly Frame SAT Masha ..... Debbie Chazen SAT Julie Compton ..... Joanna Monro SAT Producer ..... Sally Avens SAT Alistair Beaton and Tom Mitchelson's satire is set in the SAT world of modern newspapers. SAT A group of dysfunctional journalists attempt to cover major SAT news stories at the same time as grappling with the demands SAT of working in a multi-platform environment, watching SAT circulation figures plummet and the recession causing half SAT the workforce to be laid off. SAT At the heart of the comedy is the relationship between SAT Maddox Bradley; a journalist who mourns the day of proper SAT investigative journalism and Freddy, the online editor who SAT will regurgitate a press release quite happily and call it a SAT story. But they have a grudging respect for the each other SAT as Freddy helps Maddox stay afloat in the world of Twitter, SAT Facebook and podcasting and Maddox shows Freddy how to sniff SAT out the real story. Both are at the mercy of Oliver, the SAT pragmatic editor more concerned with keeping his job, and SAT Carol, the news editor who believes that circulation will SAT increase if they run pieces on Big Mac eating orang-utans SAT and 'intelligent' skunks rather than Maddox's moral SAT crusading diatribes. And only Masha, the Russian head of SAT online communities, who wants to give away all their content SAT because that is true democracy, knows Freddy's secret; that SAT he's a posh boy from Eton rather than a hypercool kid from SAT the street; well that's what Freddy thinks anyway.

FRI A comic satire set in the struggling world of newspapers. FRI Freddy punctures Maddox's literary pretensions and uncovers FRI a scandal. FRI Maddox ..... John Sessions FRI Oliver ..... Alex Jennings FRI Freddy ..... Stephen Wight FRI Carol ..... Polly Frame FRI Masha ..... Debbie Chazen FRI Miles Deanbrook ..... Sean Baker FRI Waiter ..... Adeel Akhtar FRI Producer ..... Sally Avens FRI Alistair Beaton and Tom Mitchelson's satire is set in the FRI world of modern newspapers. FRI A group of dysfunctional journalists attempt to cover major FRI news stories at the same time as grappling with the demands FRI of working in a multi-platform environment, watching FRI circulation figures plummet and the recession causing half FRI the workforce to be laid off. FRI At the heart of the comedy is the relationship between FRI Maddox Bradley, a journalist who mourns the day of proper FRI investigative journalism, and Freddy, the online editor who FRI will regurgitate a press release quite happily and call it a FRI story. But they have a grudging respect for the each other FRI as Freddy helps Maddox stay afloat in the world of Twitter, FRI Facebook and podcasting and Maddox shows Freddy how to sniff FRI out the real story. Both are at the mercy of Oliver, the FRI pragmatic editor more concerned with keeping his job, and FRI Carol, the news editor who believes that circulation will FRI increase if they run pieces on Big Mac eating orang-utans FRI and 'intelligent' skunks rather than Maddox's moral FRI crusading diatribes. And only Masha, the Russian head of FRI online communities, who wants to give away all their content FRI because that is true democracy, knows Freddy's secret; that FRI he's a posh boy from Eton rather than a hypercool kid from FRI the street; well that's what Freddy thinks anyway. FRI FRI 10:00 Charles Chilton - Another Time of My Life b0075m1p (Listen) FRI Part of BBC Radio 4 Extra's tribute to the remarkable talent FRI of writer and producer Charles Chilton, who died on 2 FRI January 2013 at the age of 95. FRI Charles Chilton worked for the BBC for 46 years. In 1973, he FRI continued to recall his varied early career. FRI It all started when a friend had made him a crystal set and FRI one of Chilton's favourite things was listening to the radio FRI in bed. In 1932, radio was the wonder of the age and the BBC FRI was a prestigious place to work. It was a time of high FRI unemployment but John Reith, who was badly wounded in the FRI First World War, was anxious to employ ex-soldiers and FRI others who had suffered from the war. Chilton was a FRI 15-year-old war orphan and so it was that, in January 1933, FRI he was lucky enough to be given his first job in the FRI spectacular, newly built Broadcasting House in London.
