Bir The ability to tell a story that you think you know, but you are not part of the driving to do it, ”says producer Patrick Spence. “The other part is a story about the abuse of power, and I think there is nothing more important than showing it.”

Only once Spence and this team began to investigate the Hacking scandal, and they noticed that the investigation into Morgan was a separate story in which they could stand next to the telephone hacking… And the Watergate breaking style is becoming much bigger together.

Uz We want the audience to call connections, Spence Spence says. “And we see that we don’t know exactly half of the story.”

What began as a story of rough journalism and the famous Tittle-Tattle is soon transformed into an investigation about who suffered the ropes and ruling corridors in C-Suites.

And even though this Hack It was determined about 20 years ago and the message could not be more up -to -date in another country.

“This is a story that needs to re -explain, Ten says Tennant. “Because he is also talking about where we are now. This is the truth – about people like you, journalists and how they keep the powerful one to calculate.”

Both actors have never been so difficult to reveal the facts and declare them without fear or goodness, despite the treatment of the press over the years.

“Protection of real and truth, Car says Carlyle,“ This is under attack as never before. Nowadays, I feel really good, honest journalists. You are researching something for months, sometimes you put forward the story for years and someone ‘fake!’ Only a word can break the foundation of a journalist and rely on honest journalism.

They should point to the United States President of the United States, who adopted free speech while both threatening media organizations, or Jeff Bezos, who shakes the editorial line of Jeff Bezos Washington PostTo make their meaning. Hack He does it for them.

“This is a story about how important it is to maintain the standards of speaking to power, Ten says Tennant. “An important, compelling, necessary story to tell.”

Tennant spoke for a long time with the investigation correspondent Davies, and he can see how commercial pressures on an industry can lead to shortcuts from all sides.

“Really interesting thing, you can understand how [phone hacking] It happened, ”says Tennant.“ The news is hard and difficult to collect. You can see how a shortcut will be so attractive. You can see how this grows to an accepted behavior balloon and how the cost is forgotten. But our story is really connected to each other – when you hear the stories of how lives are ruined, how people don’t know who they can trust more, and how families are divided. “

“I talked to Dave a few times, Car Carlyle says. “He is a cute man, but it was damaged. He affected his career, affected his marriage, affected his health. As the series progressed, you will see that he made a contract with Vertigo – and today he still suffers.

This was a British drama about an IT scandal that resulted in the accusation of innocent Postmasters of theft, imprisonment, and some of them taking their lives. Mr. Bates The most rare thing – a TV drama with a point to do this dominated the national conversation in the UK. It made a difference.

Not a coincidence Hack Made by the same team Mr. Batesand consider similar purposes. Both shows describe human stories with the expectation of interruption that they will get rid of with him about the wrongdoing mistake. They also show what an individual needs to fight.

“Let it be All president’s men or Mr. Bates Or any of these stories, ‘I don’t let you get rid of it,’ about the courage to say, Spence Spence says. I think in Australia as well as in the UK – we can’t stand the bullying. And these people were subjected to bullying and decided to fight. “

The struggle continues: ironicly, one of the aims of a drama about the importance of coming to power is to take into account the British government.
