Hi,
Can anyone else remeber a comedy on TV probably around about a year ago on either BBC or Channel 4.
The show was a spoof of 24 hour news channels and it was edited in a way to appear as if the person watching was channel hopping.
There were about 5 or 6 "channels", one American, one sports etc. I think it ran for about 6 episodes.
The only sketch I can clearly remember was the "Standing up News" in which the news readers would be constantly walking around. Also there was a sports channel with really absurd team names like the "Swindon Town Rapists".
I cant remeber what it was called or who was in it but would like to find out and if it is avaliable on DVD.
Cheers
Tom

You must be talking about "Broken News". Looks hilarious...

It might have been Brass Eye? Or the other programme with Chris Morris which was The Day Today, but the latter was BBC2 I think.

could it be ´the day today´with steve coogan and chris morris or even ´brasseye´´ which was written my morris too.. It may of even been ´jam´which was done by morris also.. if not i still highly recommend them all as they are all genius.. but it sounds like ´broken news´ which i sadly saw hardly any of..
