OPINION - They're the Londoners everyone loves to hate, but won't somebody think of the City wide boys? We need them

There is a new series of Industry coming up, which, as its name does not suggest, is a BBC series about goings-on in the City — or rather in a fictional investment bank, Pierrepoint.

There is, it would seem, zero scope for lovable and ethical City people on stage or screen.
