After working at the BBC, I can tell you that W1A is very true to life - though being film there also helped. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W1A_(TV_series)
One of my absolute favorite television shows is called W1A. It features David Tennent as a narrator, who frequently gets lines like that about the BBC.
If you’ve never seen it, absolutely go find it.
So "W1A is a documentary" strikes again...
I could, but W1A, a BBC sitcom does a much better job. Beyond that, we’re talking about criminally overpaid management which until relatively recently spent a few decades covering for the likes of Jimmy Saville. It’s the same management which still can’t quite figure how to deal with the realities of content delivery in 2017, because it might mean real change.
