"Taking The Flak" is an acerbic comedy following the progress of a small African war, as seen through the eyes of a team of journalists sending back the nightly reports from the BBC “Ten”.
Starring Doon Mackichan (Smack The Pony) and Martin Jarvis (Titanic), among others, with guest appearances from George Alagiah, Sophie Raworth and Dermot Murnaghan, it is a synthesis of news and narrative comedy, shot by an award-winning news cameraman entirely on location in Kenya.
