Did you need to go for a pee halfway through your post or what? 
What is it - a one off or a series - who's it about? What channels it on?

Re: You have to watch this...THE CORPORATION
What is it, a shaft the workers while the bosses get fat kind of thing?
Well, that would be par for the course!
I can't believe how, after 3 years in the land of ultra capitalism, I now appear to come across as a trade unionist commie leftie! Always used to think of myself as slightly right wing, but the good ol USA has remedied that!
