Drop the Dead Donkey

The Dead Donkey is a situation comedy that aired on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom between 1990 and 1998. It is set in the offices of"GlobeLink News", a fictional television news business. It utilized information events that were contemporary to give a much greater sense of precision to the programme. It was created by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin. The series had an ensemble cast, making stars of Neil Pearson, Stephen Tompkinson and Haydn Gwynne. The series began with the acquisition of GlobeLink by media mogul Sir Roysten Merchant, an allusion to either Robert Maxwell or Rupert Murdoch. Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin note that it was blessed for their libel attorneys that both men shared the very exact initials. The series is largely based on the on-going struggle between the staff of GlobeLink, directed by editor George Dent, since they try to keep the company being a significant news organisation, and Sir Roysten's right-hand man Gus Hedges, trying to produce the show more sensationalist and suppress stories which may harm Sir Roysten's business empire. The show was given the Best Comedy Award at the 1994 BAFTA Awards. That the show won Best New TV Comedy in 1990, Most Useful Channel 4 Comedy in 1991, and Most Useful Channel 4 Sitcom in 1994.
