W1A

AudienceAudience: 7.9

The follow-up to Twenty Twelve follows Ian Fletcher as he takes on the role of Head of Values at the BBC, tasked with clarifying the organization’s core purpose. The comedy centers on endless meetings and planning as major future decisions approach, including Licence Fee Renegotiation and Charter Renewal.

My take

If you enjoy dry, very British office satire and the escalating absurdity of corporate meetings, W1A is likely your kind of comedy, especially if you liked Twenty Twelve or This Country; Not for you if you dislike repetition or want a less aggravating mockumentary-style format.
