v close to reality

posted 14 years ago by LocoHero

i began my tv career in 1991 at sky news...

trust me, it's very close to what newsroom characters are like, and i know one reporter who is the clone of damien (his initials are GC).

i'm convinced it's based on sky news - someone at work told me that the writers did research at sky news before the series aired.
