Between the Lines

on BBC Two England

Starring John Heard, Bruno Kirby

Boston's one-time radical weekly 'The Black Bay Mainline' is losing its excitement on the way to making a profit. The radical flavour and excitement is disappointing and big business is interested in a take-over. The effect is devastating for the young and dedicated journalists and hangers-on who have committed so much of their lives to the paper and to each other. This lively comedy presents a wry and affectionate view of present-day America and the problems of success.
