Ep 4. Episode 4

In episode 4 of W1A season 1, the team at BBC Broadcasting House find themselves in a panic when they realize a major news story is breaking and they have no idea how to cover it. In typical W1A fashion, the staff frantically brainstorm ideas and struggle to come up with a plan.

Meanwhile, Anna Rampton, the Head of Output, is dealing with a personal crisis as her husband is having an affair. She seeks advice from a former colleague who suggests she take drastic action to get revenge.

Siobhan Sharpe, the brand consultant, is tasked with finding a celebrity to promote an upcoming show, but things take a bizarre turn when she discovers the chosen celebrity is a convicted criminal.

The episode also features the ongoing struggle between Ian Fletcher, the Head of Values, and his assistant Lucy Freeman, who frequently clashes with him over his ideas and proposals. Ian tries to keep Lucy in check while also attempting to navigate the tumultuous world of BBC politics and bureaucracy.

As always, the staff at W1A experience a series of comical mishaps and misunderstandings as they attempt to tackle the challenges of working in a modern media organization. With its satirical take on the inner workings of the BBC, W1A remains an entertaining and thought-provoking show for those interested in the media industry.
