Episode 4: Amina (Priyanga Burford) faces a challenge as the Joshua West (Dominic Rowan, pictured) scandal hits the headlines, while Holly continues digging into the high-profile entrepreneur’s sexual past.
On the other side of the square, Duncan (Ben Chaplin) is shocked to learn that The Post has been banned from the daily press conference at Downing Street.
Unwilling to apologise for his deliberately provocative placement of the Prime Minister’s (Elliot Levy) photograph next to a contentious headline, Duncan risks damaging his relationship with the PM further in a move which could have more wide-reaching political consequences.
Duncan attempts to strengthen his professional ties to Holly by offering her a lead, and Ed learns not to underestimate Holly’s commitment to her work, above all else.
Meanwhile Holly’s colleagues are following a different lead. Leona (Ellie Kendrick) is approached by a surprising source who has a particular interest in James (Al Weaver). Peter’s (Brendan Cowell) support proves valuable to Amina as she suffers a personal crisis, but it seems as if her professional relationship with Holly could be damaged beyond repair.
