Lobby Land is a British political satire broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It centres on political editor Samantha Peakes of fictional clickbait website Hot Takes as she tries to scoop a story from the events in Westminster and avoid losing her job. It is very topical, using current events to form part of the story, and was commissioned as "a sharp satirical sitcom for post-Brexit Britain".[1] It is created, produced and co-written by Jon Harvey.[2]
