"Making News" is the latest topical offering from Islington councillor and lawyer Robert Khan and his writing partner Tom Salinsky (who admits to having run some corporate training courses for Auntie); they wrote "Coalition" in 2012, and say they started work on this before George Entwistle was appointed.
It stars Phil Jupitus as Roger Seabright, BBC Director General - 'very much the old school patrician, a safe pair of hands'; Suki Webster plays Rachel Clarke, newly-installed acting head of BBC News; and the action follows the 24-hour news cycle as a major story is poised to break about the corporation. Other characters include an apparently 'assured 6 O'Clock News presenter, who's more panicky off screen', and a Panorama reporter 'crossing the line from current affairs to news'.
