A Brave News World

Hot off the press from Doctor Foster writer Mike Bartlett comes a fast paced new drama 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 (Peaky Blinders’ Charlotte Riley) immerses herself in her work to the exclusion of virtually everything else.

Meanwhile, across the street at red-top The Post, editor Duncan Allen (Apple Tree Yard’s Ben Chaplin) is hugely successful at delivering sensational stories and keeping his CEO (played by Poirot legend and TV Times favourite David Suchet) happy.

But Duncan’s home life is just as colourful as the sensational stories he splashes across the front cover in the name of ‘entertainment’.

In what felt a bit like a busman’s holiday, TV Times caught up with Charlotte, 36, and Ben, 49, on the very realistic newsroom sets for a quick conference about what’s on the agenda in Press

What are Duncan and Holly like?
