In the Red is a three-part BBC Two black comedy crime miniseries adapted by Malcolm Bradbury from Mark Tavener's novel of the same name, which had been inspired by the writer's early experiences working for the BBC and the Liberal Party. The serial stars Warren Clarke as BBC Reporter George Cragge and Alun Armstrong as Police Superintendent Frank Jefferson, investigating a series of murders of London bank managers, a small political party contesting a by-election, and a plan to overthrow the Director-General of the BBC.
