All of the show's episodes were written and directed by Rob Sitch (Mike Moore), Jane Kennedy (Brooke Vandenberg), Santo Cilauro (Geoffrey Salter) – who also did most of the camera work – and Tom Gleisner.
When a humble professor publishes a book of statistical analyses, the media (and Frontline) attempt to make it into a debate on racism, and Sam manipulates Mike into passionate feelings on the issue, while the Frontline staff ignore their own racial prejudices.
Mike is stunned when he learns that Frontline is being used for cross-promotion, promoting both the network's new soap opera and the business interests of the network's owner, Lloyd Walsh (Paul Cronin).
When Walsh is suspected of breaking Australia's cross-media ownership laws, he decides to appear on Frontline to defend himself.
However, Mike enlists the help of an old ABC colleague to come up with some hard-hitting questions for the interview.
