"Taking the Flak”   A comedy, about news, made like news

Originator, Co-writer and Co-Producer

“Taking the Flak”  is a very black comedy which covers the entire progress of a small African war through the eyes of the journalists who are sending the nightly reports back for television news. It’s acerbic, authentic, realistic, caustic comedy drama.

A BBC commissioned comedy currently in post-production; Two months filming in Tanzania has just finished October 2008. The seven part series will be transmitted in 2009 on BBC2.
