1 část: Hapless journalist William Boot is mistakenly sent to report on a war in Africa.
A satirical swipe at the world of journalism. William Boot, countryman, is mistakenly sent to cover a war in Africa with comic results.

William finds life as a war correspondent somewhat tedious, but he does fall in love and find himself in the middle of a revolution.

Pozn.: The new Classic Serial is Evelyn Waugh’s abidingly comic novel, adapted by clever Jeremy Front (who, among many other things, also does the Charles Paris mysteries on this network). Rory Kinnear plays William Boot, an obscure young country scribe mistaken by mighty newspaper publisher Lord Copper (David Warner) for urbane and experienced reporter John Boot and sent off to report on a war in far-off Ishmaelia. Boot, often thought to resemble the great Bill Deedes in his early days on Fleet Street, flounders out of his depth, gets much wrong but, in the wicked world which surrounds him, somehow shines through.
