IN THE RED

(Redirected from In The Red)

'''In the Red''' is a 1989 novel by Mark Tavener, a black comedy revolving around murder, finance, and intrigue in the halls of the BBC.
Ironically, it has been successfully adapted for both radio and television by the BBC.
The title is a pun on the expression "".
In 1995, it was adapted for radio by Tavener and Peter Baynham, and aired on BBC Radio 4 with Michael Williams and Barry Foster in lead roles.
The radio version was successful, and was followed by three sequels: ''In the Balance'', ''In the Chair'', and ''In the End''.
In 1998, it was adapted for television by Malcolm Bradbury, and aired on BBC Two. The series included a very impressive cast of famous UK television performers including Warren Clarke, Richard Griffiths, Alun Armstrong, Stephen Fry, and John Bird.
In 2000, a pair of characters, BBC executives played in both the radio and television versions by Stephen Fry and John Bird, were spun off into their own Radio 4 series, ''Absolute Power'', written by Taverner.
