"Middle aged & graying, current affairs news anchor, Douglas Bellowes (Hugh Bonneville), is a respected, experienced broadcaster for Live At Six and raconteur who loves the life he’s created with his wife, Sheila (Alex Kingston). Behind the scenes Douglas needs constant reassurance from his younger, tech savvy, social media aware co-anchor, Madeline (Karen Gillan). Regarded as a national treasure who, apparently, can do no wrong, Douglas’ life is privileged until he makes an ill-advised joke at his cousin’s wedding, which is overheard by a fellow guest, who threatens to expose his comments on social media. During the on-going hysteria & digital storm, Douglas’ alleged indiscretion is dissected & blown out of proportion, where everyone has an opinion. Struggling to escape the controversy, Douglas is in a chaotic & unmanageable situation, but can he count on the support of his agent and colleagues? What will Douglas do next? Is he a casualty of ‘cancel culture’? With 2 million followers, what is Madeline’s motivation to post on Douglas’s behalf? Friend or foe? That is the question."
