Absolute Power (2003) - Series 2

Stephen Fry and John Bird reprise their roles as spin doctors Charles Prentiss and Martin McCabe in this hilarious second series. Machiavelli has nothing on these two. Charles Prentiss and Martin McCabe run a blue-chip London PR firm, heading up a team of ambitious young agents who work in the dark art of repackaging black as white. Exposing the inextricable collusion between press and PR, while holding a mirror up to our celebrity obsessed times, this is a witty and satirical comedy about a world in which style triumphs over substance, tabloids are the new judge and jury, and where five minutes of fame is considered a long-term career.
