Oh my giddy aunt, look at this:

The press release is [on the brief side](https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2018/press-trailer?ref=onemanandhisblog.com):

> Set in the fast-paced and challenging environment of the British newspaper industry, Press will immerse viewers in the personal lives and the constant professional dilemmas facing its characters.

> The series follow their lives as they attempt to balance work and play, ambition and integrity, amid the never-ending pressure of the 24-hour global news cycle and an industry in turmoil.

Oh, BBC, as accurate as some of those tropes might be, do we really needs this at a time when the relationship between the press and the public is already in a difficult state?

> OK: Journalists of Twitter - Hands up who's going to be watching this through their fingers, while sucking down a decent mid-priced red through a straw, and dictating innumerable scabrously horrified tweets using voice recognition.

Personally, I'm going straight in on the whisky.
