I have to say I'm loving 'The Paper' one of the best new sitcoms of the year. Really moves on the format of 'The Office' in a fresh way and does make the Australian Office earlier this year look very dated.

Can highly recommend this show on BBC4. Loved Jasper growing up and he is extremely generous to his writers and actors. Always love it when a legend turns out to be a decent bloke too.
