Drop the Dead Donkey
Drop the Dead Donkey was a Channel 4 situation comedy from 1990 until 1998. It's set in the fictional GlobeLink News headquarters. Recorded close to transmission, it used current events to add realism. Hamilton and Jenkin created it. Haydn Gwynne, Stephen Tompkinson, and Neil Pearson starred. Sir Roysten Merchant, a reference to Robert Maxwell or Rupert Murdoch, bought GlobeLink. Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin indicate on their DVDs that sharing initials helped their libel lawyers. The series focuses on the conflict between GlobeLink's personnel, lead by editor George Dent, who wants to keep the company serious, and Sir Roysten's right-hand man Gus Hedges, who wants to make the show sensationalist and bury topics that could undermine Sir Roysten's corporate empire. 1994 BAFTAs: Best Comedy. In 1990, 1991, and 1994, the show received the British Comedy Award for Best New TV Comedy.
