It's a workplace comedy set at BBC headquarters (postal code W1A) presented as a cinema verite documentary, like The Office, and it's consistently hilarious. I watched it when it was on Netflix but I think you can catch it at Britbox if you subscribe to that. The clip below is about the office's new software suite, called "Syncapatico", which besides scrambling all their calendars, uses AI to generate captions for their broadcasts, and like any AI it fails miserably at only 10% of tasks, but always the most important 10%.
