The premise

Here’s the bit.

Alison and Peter visit a television executive to discuss bringing Numberwang back. He treats his staff as diversity props, brushes aside the creators’ proposal and demands a younger version inspired by Skins. His refusal to listen becomes so complete that even their rejection sounds like an agreement to make the programme.
