While Emily Maitlis waits for OFCOM to opine on her Newsnight Dominic Cummings monologue, she can soon take pleasure in a pilot first episode of "Airhead", a comedy/drama version of her behind-the-scenes book on news broadcasting.
It seems to have been scripted by Laura Deeley, who's written 10 episodes of The Crown, and former Beeboid Mark Freeland, now head of comedy at Working Title, is leading on production. The deal was brokered by literary agent Eugenie Furniss, who spookily also acts for Celia Walden, wife of Em's drinking chum, Piers Morgan.
We await news of the casting....
