There are, as mentioned, hidden gems within W1A - David Tennant's deadpan voiceovers "(X) has to go to see (Y) about an idea that he's been told to have"... and the subtitles.
As a veteran of workplace meetings I loved 2012, and thought that W1A was sublime. And it features the impossibly lovely Ophelia Lovibond.
So that's all good, then...

When I had a day job I spent a lot of time in meetings with senior HR and Social Services folk so I assumed W1A was a fly on the all documentary ...
And if anybody thinks Social Services comprise fluffy, earnest hand wringers I can report that in a near 40 year legal career I never encountered ,more backstabbing , hyper ambitious, bulls

I'm not sure if I mentioned it or not, but there is the occasional stroke of genius in it. As a veteran of workplace meetings I loved 2012, and thought that W1A was sublime. And it features the impossibly lovely Ophelia Lovibond.

In the programme, the BBC's offices are shown with lots of glass dividers/walls and doors with Buzzwords on them.
When Anna walks into one and knocks herself out, the particular glass wall she walks into has the buzzword "Transparency" on it.

I worked at TfL for three years at that was much the same. In fact, it’s the perfect setting for series 3 although TfL have precisely zero sense of humour.In the area I was employed we had a Network Head of Performance, a Head of Network Performance, and a Network Performance Head.
