In the Red	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the Red is a 1998 three-part BBC Miniseries based on the novel of the same name by Mark Tavener. It's a Black Comedy whodunnit which follows three parallel plot lines: BBC crime reporter George Cragge (Warren Clarke) receiving correspondence from a Serial Killer who is exclusively targeting bank managers; minor party leader Geoffrey Crichton Potter (Richard Griffiths), who suddenly finds himself riding strong political headwinds in the midst of the murders; and the backstabbing Controller of Radio 2 (Stephen Fry), who is plotting to depose the corporation's Director-General and take the job for himself.The miniseries is probably best known as the work from which the spin-off Absolute Power came to be, following Fry and John Bird's characters, Charles Prentiss and Martin McCabe, as they navigate the PR industry. It is also unique for the way it makes the BBC itself the target of its satire, in a way that doesn't so much bite the hand as take a big chunk out of it, with the plot heavily centering around zany dysfunction within all levels of the Beeb.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

In the Red / int_820ac3c5	comment	Dysfunction Junction: At the BBC we have: George Cragge, an unethical, unprofessional, alcoholic pain-in-the-arse; his producer, Beth Parsons, who hates his guts; Jemma White, the Cloud Cuckoolander Radio 4 newsreader; Hercules Fortescue, the increasingly off-kilter personnel officer; the Controller of Radio 2, who is plotting to backstab the Director-General and take his job; and the Director-General himself, Jim Wilkes, whose mismanagement of the corporation has put BBC One's ratings into fourth place and is dumb enough to let the Radio 2 Controller talk him into the Oh Jesus! fiasco. Your licence fees at work, everybody!
