Part 1 - 1999-11-18 - Sometimes I feel so uninspired
George attends the funeral of a journalist friend who has supposedly committed suicide. Shortly afterwards a second journalist dies, and this time it is unquestionably murder. George and his friend Superintendent Jefferson are back with a serial killer on their hands.
Part 2 - 1999-11-25 - And the headlines again
Cragge and Jefferson look for the murderer among the people who have been victims of major exposes by journalists. Meanwhile, the PM's depression is lifting, thanks to the return of his chief spin doctor, Marcia Mallon. Lord Crichton, chairman of the BBC, decides to rid the corporation of unnecessary managers.
Part 3 - 1999-12-02 - We're all going on a Winter holiday
Tension mounts when the serial killer claims a third victim. As the evidence grows, Supt Jefferson is convinced that celebrity chef Coco St Martin is the journalist killer. Meanwhile, the PM takes a winter skiing holiday, leaving Marcia to keep an eye on the Chancellor.
Part 4 - 1999-12-09 - See him in the House of Commons
Rupert Thresher arouses Cragge's suspicion as the hunt for the journalist killer continues. Meanwhile, the PM is once again depressed as his approval rating falls below 50 per cent for the first time.
Part 5 - 1999-12-16 - I am the way and the truth and the life
As another journalist falls victim to the serial killer, it becomes chillingly clear to George that the murders have a sinister connection with himself. Meanwhile, at the hands of Charles and Martin, BBC bureaucrats are dropping like flies.
Part 6 - 1999-12-23 - Can we get on with it, George
George is convinced that he is the murderer's next target, but can he find the killer before it is too late? And could the Prime Minister be thinking about handing over the reins?
