A TV series which spoofed TV news channels in their delivery of news. There is a very detailed write up of the series from Wikipedia which you can read HERE.
Only one series of this show was made, which contained six episodes. Nicola appeared as one of the reporters and was featured in three stories :
Missing Island – she reported on an island which was there one day but gone the next day
Half Way There Day – she reported on commemorations around Britain to mark the day the country reached the half-way point in the last World War
Crime – she reported on crime in one of the housing estates
