W1A - Season 1 Episode 1

With the Olympics over Ian Fletcher joins the BBC as its new head of values and has trouble finding his office. Dim young intern Will introduces him to Simon Harwood, the director general's right hand man and he attends a meeting along with senior communications officer Tracey Pritchard, head of output Anna Rampton and Neil Reid, who believes the BBC should be more Cornwall-friendly. Producer Lucy Freeman plans a rural series, 'Britain's Tastiest Villages' but proposed host Clare Balding is doing a dog show for ITV so Lucy and Anna go after Carol Vorderman instead. Carol is not fooled into believing that she was first choice and refuses to commit. After trying to placate professional Cornishman Nigel Trescott Ian finds himself chairing his first meeting where he is perturbed, not only by the Cornish debate but by the presence of ridiculous PR woman Siobhan Sharpe, whom he knows of old.
