New series set behind-the-scenes in a BBC newsroom features Dominic West, Romola Garai and Ben Whishaw, premiers on August 17th

By Robin Rowe

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 7/21/2011 – “In the first episode this team of ground breaking journalists start off in Alexander Palace working on news reels,” says The Hour star Romola Garai. “It;s an environment that they find very stultifying and not very challenging and not representative of the type of journalism they want to do.

Not so much for the dialog and the action, although it was great to have a holster and a gun…. It was so wonderful being able to listen on camera with the full confidence that the audience is going to get the opportunity slowly to see that world through my eyes. All I have to do is think my way through it.”
