The year is 2018 and much like the world at large, the Dateline news studio is far from okay. This series of satirical news broadcasts draws its targets from a world on fire: the Trump White House, Theresa May's Brexit, climate change deniers and even - perhaps worst of all - people who claim to have “very eclectic“ tastes in music. The 2018 series culminated in a Christmas special, 'Dateline with a Vengeance', which abandoned the show's normal format, seeing its presenters caught up in a Die Hard style siege of the Dateline News Tower.
