Sitcom with Martin Jarvis and Doon Mackichan. There's more conflict in the African country of Karibu as junior journalist Harry meets his girlfriend's father for the first time. Senior correspondent David and new cameraman Rory clash over the uses of root ginger, and producer Jane loses her patience after David's passport comes to a sticky end at the hands of the local militia - who soon want much more than a bribe. There's good news as charity worker Samantha organises a summer fete in aid of boy soldiers, but will Fiona Bruce be forced to witness the BBC's Chief Foreign Editor terminated live on air?
