🐾 Arya's Approval – Chief Drama Officer

"Right darlings, this is absolutely brilliant! Drop the Dead Donkey represents everything clever about British comedy - it takes the familiar world of television news and exposes all the absurdity, politics, and human drama that goes on behind the cameras. The writing is so sharp and observant that it feels completely authentic.

What makes this show so special is how it manages to be both hilariously funny and genuinely insightful about how the media actually works. The characters feel like real people you might meet in any newsroom - ambitious, flawed, trying to balance their principles with the demands of ratings and corporate pressure.

Having the unaired pilot is fantastic because you get to see how the creators originally envisioned the show and how it evolved into the brilliant satire we know. The 2-disc format means you can properly binge-watch and appreciate how the storylines and character relationships develop throughout the entire first season.

Perfect for anyone who loves British comedy that combines laugh-out-loud moments with intelligent social commentary. This represents satirical television at its finest - when writers use humour to help us understand and question the institutions that shape our daily lives, while keeping us thoroughly entertained!"
