The Telegraph reports that Channel 4 is in the early stages of producing a comedy show “featuring plots about newspaper phone hacking and other illegal journalistic practices”.
Developed under the work title “Hacks”, it will depict staff in a mythical newsroom where most of them are engaged in practices such as phone hacking, blagging and pinging to get a story by any means necessary.
The pilot is scripted by the people responsible for the series “Drop the Dead Donkey”. No news on technical advisors as yet but there is unlikely to be any kind of shortage.
