Telegraph Sale, Studio Boom & Select Committee Quizzing
Adam MacQueen and Cara Kotschy join Matt Deegan
The Daily Mail has agreed to buy the Telegraph for a cool half billion - but where exactly is Lord Rothermere finding the money? Private Eye’s Adam MacQueen, writer on the magazine’s Street of Shame column, dissects another twist in the Telegraph saga that’s been rumbling on since the Palaeolithic period.
We’re covering why the budget offered no new tax credits for film and TV (disappointing but not surprising), what the latest studio boom means for the sector, and how Michael Prescott finally faced MPs over his controversial BBC dossier. Also on the show, a lost Blackadder Christmas script goes up for auction, Dale Vince launches an eco-magazine called Babelfish, and why Global’s Stranger Things radio station has won over even the anoraks who usually hate everything they do.
Plus in the Media Quiz, we test our guests’ knowledge of underreported stories with some creative connections.
