Synopsis
Doris Wallace, bitchy queen of the tabloid press, is on the verge of a glorious venture in TV.
She's not going to let anything get in her way, not even the silly cow suing her for libel.
Any skeletons she may have in her cupboard are, like her bondage gear, firmly locked up - or so she thinks.
