W1a

My daughter had to go with some people from 'Save the Children' for a meeting at the BBC in London.

She described it as a complete farce - exactly like an episode of W1A. It just reinforces the suspicion that this program is actually a documentary

Re: W1a

It's a mockumentary along the lines of that Olympic programme, similar to The Office.

Re: W1a

Good lord, I assumed that everyone would have known about W1A which is a wonderful spoof documentary series set in a fictional part of the BBC. Even though it's supposed to be a comedy, it appears to be uncomfortable close to the truth.

For Meg and Mags and anyone else who hasn't seen it, I recommend that you take a look.
