The BBC's plan to film a docudrama about the trial of Joyti De-Laurey, the light-fingered secretary to Scott Mead, Goldman Sachs' former star telecoms banker, is progressing.
Meera Syal, best known for comedy shows Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars at No 42, is said to have landed the role of Joyti, although the Goldman bankers have yet to be cast. Having seen his reputation take a battering at the trial, Mead will no doubt be hoping for kindness from the casting directors.
