This is a really good comedy that mixes real news from the 90's with satire. I think it was Brass Eye that was more of a problem than this, especially with the paedophile thing. It is basically a pretend news programme hosted by British Comedy Award winning Christopher Morris as Ted Maul (along with various other characters). It also has the first television appearance for Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge (and many other roles). Also starring Rebecca Front as Valerie Sinatra/Barbara Wintergreen and Rosy May (and many other roles), Smack The Pony's Doon Mackichan as Collaterlie Sisters (and many other roles), Patrick Marber as Peter O'Hanarha-Hanrahan, Jaques-'Jaques' Liverot and Chapman Baxter (and many other roles) and the really good David Schneider as Brant and Sylvester Stewart (and many other roles). It won the BAFTA for Best graphic Design, and it was nominated the Interactive Award for DVD. Ted Maul was number 25 on The World's Greatest Comedy Characters, The Pool sketch (with the guy that goes "no-one died") was number 18 on The 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches. Very good!
