Liz Lemon, (Tina Fey) is the head writer on a variety series on NBC Studios.

The characters are still all hugely dysfunctional and written with enormous affection and comic effect. The situations beautifully constructed. This set contains all the episodes from the show’s fourth series.

A funny, biting and occasionally touching ode to find out more...
