Hot off the press from Doctor Foster writer Mike Bartlett comes a new drama series about the lives of journalists working for two fictional newspapers – one a broadsheet, the other a tabloid.

At upmarket The Herald, deputy news editor Holly Evans (Charlotte Riley) immerses herself in her work to the exclusion of virtually everything else. Meanwhile, across the street at the more salacious red-top The Post, editor Duncan Allen (Ben Chaplin) is successful at delivering sensational stories and keeping his ruthless CEO George Emmerson (David Suchet) happy.
