Lobby Land: BBC Radio Political Satire


(5 stars; 1 review)

Lobby Land is a satirical comedy drama that delves into the life and work within the journalists' Westminster bubble. The story follows political editor Samantha Peakes, who works for the fictional clickbait website Hot Takes, as she navigates the challenges of scooping stories while trying to keep her job amidst the chaos of Westminster.

Set during the summer recess, the halls of parliament buzz with gossip, but Sam finds herself in a tight spot, being shadowed by office intern Lawrence. With the pressure mounting, she must find a new story quickly. This sharp sitcom reflects on the realities of journalism in post-Brexit Britain, highlighting the disconnect between what is written and what is read.
