The Rest is Entertainment

Are Newsroom Backgrounds Real Or Fake?

Listen on

Episode notes

Are those people working, or eating their lunch, in the background of newsrooms live, or is it all faked? What is the thought process behind adaptations and who decides if it is best to adapt for film or TV? When reporters are in a war zone, do they have access to water, food, power? And how safe are they?


Richard Osman and Marina Hyde answer your questions.
