SE01E02: “Black Gold”

When US network news legend Candida Coulter cascades into Karibu, flanked by her long-suffering cameraman and producer, the American invasion of the conflict-torn African country begins.

“Candida Coulter” (hah!) is played by Ruby Wax.

If you’d like to see the teaser and bonus videos, look no further than the BBC’s channel on Youtube:
