The two hundred and thirty-ninth TV show: #445 Drop the Dead Donkey

There's something that works in this show even twenty-five years after its broadcast. While some of the mechanics of news have changed, this workplace comedy about a news station recently bought by an investor who is partially affecting the contents of the channel while being nominally independent. Aside from well working satire, the way the show includes recent news events (at the time - helped with an intro explaining them for modern broadcasts) elevates the feeling of timeliness of the show. It's incredibly engaging still, certainly more than I expected for its time.
