Four freshly minted millionaires working alongside people who still have to bring in their lunch from home. An office of haves and have-nots. Like <em>Downtown Abbey<\/em> with nerds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Howard Burch, the head of drama at Keshet UK, said, \u201cIt\u2019s so exciting to be teaming up again with our friends at AMC to bring\u00a0<em>Loaded<\/em> to an even wider audience.
