Sitcom makes the news

If the pilot is a success, viewers can expect to see a six-episode series in a prime-time slot on BBC1 next year. Written and directed by John Morton, the sitcom focuses on five hapless journalists at the Stowebridge Times, all hoping their small town lives are about to change.
