Charlie Brooker says that British newsreaders would also do voiceover work for children's programs, showing a clip of Richard Baker reading news about Lt. William Calley and the My Lai massacre, then showing the intro of "Mary, Mungo and Midge" but with the audio from the previous clip humourously edited into it, so it sounds like Baker is saying "And there's Midge, who was convicted of killing 22 civilians at My Lai in South Vietnam".Nine O'Clock News (TV Series 1970–2000)
