@rhombus0ne Well, it says this on the BBC Website: "The Hour, a thrilling six-part drama which takes viewers behind the scenes of the launch of a topical news programme in London 1956"
Trailer music for The Hour is?
Horace Silver - "Senõr Blues".
(...incase anyone wondered; it's a brilliant classic ;-)

Is this supposed to be set in the 1960s, right? Their looks are not as I thought they would be. Anyway, I'll give it a try.
