Drop the Dead Donkey

The Dead Donkey is a situation comedy that aired on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom between 1998 and 1990. It is set at the offices of"GlobeLink News", a fictional television news provider. Recorded close to transmission, it made use of news events that were contemporary to provide a greater sense of realism to the programme. Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin created it. The show had an ensemble cast, manufacturing stars of Stephen Tompkinson Haydn Gwynne and Neil Pearson. The show began with GlobeLink's acquisition an allusion, by media mogul Sir Roysten Merchant to Robert Maxwell or even Rupert Murdoch. Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin note it was blessed for their libel attorneys that both men shared the very same initials. The show is largely based on the on-going conflict between your team of GlobeLink, led by editor George Dent, as they try to keep the company being a serious news business, and Sir Roysten's righthand individual Gus Hedges, trying to make the series more sensationalist and suppress stories which may harm Sir Roysten's business empire. The series was awarded the Best Comedy Award at the 1994 BAFTA Awards. At the Comedy Awards the series won Best New TV Comedy in 1990, Best Channel 4 Comedy at 1991, and Best Channel 4 Sitcom at 1994.
