FOXES IN THE UNDERGROUND

29th July, 1981. As all the major news teams focus on the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, a small regional news station finds itself the only station with an exclusive crime report. National coverage awaits, jobs are on the line. And the footage is unusable. A desperate producer decides that there is more than one way to make the news… Jonathan Hyde (The Mummy, Anaconda) takes the lead in a cynical, invective-filled comedy about modern media which will appeal to fans of Drop The Dead Donkey and The Thick of It.
