Series titled Thank You & Goodbye will detail fall of Rupert Murdoch-owned News of the World
The News International phone-hacking scandal, which was exposed by the Guardian and led to the closure of the News of the World in 2011, is to be turned into a TV drama.
The series will be entitled Thank You & Goodbye after the Sunday tabloid’s final front-page headline. It will detail the fall of the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper, which resulted in the imprisonment of its former editor Andy Coulson, who had become Downing Street’s director of communications, and Murdoch giving evidence to parliament.
