Absolute Power - Season 01 DVD

Spin is dead, long live PR

Think 'devious'. Think 'unscrupulous'. Think 'Machiavellian' and you are about halfway to describing PR gurus Charles Prentiss and Martin McCabe. The wily duo are masters of the dark art of repackaging white as black. Together they run a PR company full of ambitious bright young things willing to sell their souls to the devil if it makes their clients look good. On the media minefield where careers are saved and ruined, Charles and Martin rescue reputations, outwit newspaper editors, lie, cheat, manipulate, use and abuse: all in the name of the large fees their clients pay them. But will their duplicitous dealings return to haunt them? After all, what goes around, surely comes around. Starring Stephen Fry, John Bird, John Lance and Zoe Telford, Absolute Power is a stunning look at a world of manipulation, where style always comes before substance. As seen on ABC TV.
