Essential

2021 · 8 seasons

A sober, talky current-affairs programme that asks you to pay attention and think rather than feel.

It is increasingly essential to ask, know and understand. Investigating and making reality known is the job of journalists. But being well informed concerns all of us. The present day always has different perspectives and there are countless realities that we must know. Have all the questions been asked? Searching, investigating, alerting is essential.
