This very cleverly imitates something the UK government's PR team constantly struggles with in terms of not wanting to offend communities by leaving them out despite it being completely uneconomical to do the thing they're trying not to do but usually end up doing.
Right...okay... -- Okay...right... -- Okay...Okay... -- it is absolutely fascinating, how many times! Also: "I don't mean to be funny, BUT..." -- Oh, but you are!
Hugh bonneville was on "star in a reasonably priced car" just before the series aired and said that the script was pretty much whatever was happening in the BBC at the time
Like you, I thought that she was mustard but she was destined just to play bit parts and become an Extra in a lost episode of Dad's Army, I'm afraid. She is now Employed on a Zero Hour contract at Sports Direct servicing Mike Ashley and his every need...

I would bet a significant chunk of money that this show was in some way based on an Australian comedy called The Games, which ran on ABC in the lead up to the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
I just saw a trailer on YT about a show that reminded me of w1a. It has an HR, sales, and IT depts. I think the show may be on youtube. Any clue what it may be?
I don't know if anyone realises but this series is a complete ripoff of a classic Australian comedy series, The Games, based on prep for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
This is like something you would have seen on Pravda. A cringe inducing attempt at comedy where the actors struggle to conform with the states irrational ideology. Ironically the sketch comes across as a satire of the BBC multicultural dogma.

There are no words to describe how much I love this show.

The title and topic seems to date this but it's still brilliant and very, very funny.
Loved this.... 10/10

A 3:01 does Ian call Sally ‘Sandy’?

And was way funnier. John Howard's apology was gold. And the swimming pool episode. RIP John Clarke.

The only thing cringe-inducing here is your comment.
attempting to sound very clever when you've only capitalised your second name and not your first is an interesting look

The only irony is that you have failed to see the irony in the programme and, ironically, in your own comment pS..
And the winner of the r/whoosh award for stating the bleeding obvious while completely missing the point is... Paul Smith.
