Sitcom Mission

Should Know Better

By: Natalie Johnson

Sitcom Mission 2010 finalist

Magazines Spice (for Girls) and Thrust (for Men) were launched in a mid-90s environment of binge-drinking, promiscuity and hope, but are now floundering in a saturated and increasingly sensationalist market. The axe hangs over one of the magazines in Best Publications and a Johnny Depp exclusive has convinced proprietor Lionel to save Wound Care World. How can Editors - Machiavellian Mod Adam and shallow fatalist Anna - save their jobs?
