Storyline
Ben Black is the host of a popular television program that aims to shock and outrage its audience, which continues to tune in even though most of them think they are 'above it.' But Ben's cruel persona as TV host often continues after the cameras are turned off and his ex-lover / current producer, his co-workers, and his lover are often at the receiving end of his barbs.

Being a big Martin Clunes fan anyway, it was inevitable that I was going to enjoy this programme. The thing that amazed me was how much I enjoyed it! A TFI Friday/OTT Cable show. The host, insomniac Ben Black, the producer, hassled ex wife Stella, the stalker magician Fandango & the Jeremy Beadlesque character played by Martin Jarvis all come together & interact perfectly, making this one of the funniest & darkest comedies I have ever seen. Bens awful childhood (poor little orphan Ben) & his impending divorce, the fact that he hasn't slept properly for weeks due to the heat wave & his supermodel girlfriend Sophie has just dumped him (by telling the newspapers before him!) all spiral into events that could result in his suicide or get him more viewing figures than ever before. 5 years on this is still something I Watch at least every couple of months, it's still as fresh & as compelling as when first shown on TV & I would like to congratulate the writers on that. More shows like this please!
