- TriviaThe cast list gives Ben and Jerry's surnames as Rosenstern and Guildencranz. This is a reference to Rosencrantz and Guildernstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare's play Hamlet (2015). In Tom Stoppard's play of 1966 National Theatre Live: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (2017) he flips the plot and they become the major characters. In Stoppard's play they are like two halves of a single character and other characters in the play have trouble distinguishing which one is which; much like the hapless Ben and Jerry.

Featured review
Too close to the truth to be funny if you're a tax-payer
I found this very funny and very true. I worked at BBC Future Media (and other parts of the BBC) and recognise a number of these senior managers. The caricatures are not far removed from reality. On the creative side, you might think the show was cruel. Not really, they used to have weekly "creative sessions" in my kitchen area. There's nothing like the sight of desperate 40-somethings trying to come up with something young and hip to make you wish you were far, far away from the commissioning process and the necessary obliges noblesses! The meeting rooms, "Strictly Come Dancing" and "Top Gear" and so on, and Syncopatispace is beyond parody. This show is almost exactly like working there.
