Tomato Flu

Just watched the funniest television parody since The Day Today. Broken News Lampoons the never-ending stream of news programs that clog up today's multi-channel digital television. There were recognisable spoofs of virtually every single type of news show on TV, from trendy news bursts for 20-somethings to hideously parochial local BBC news shows.

There were several laugh-out-loud moments tonight, but I'm not going to bore you all by quoting them here. I'll save that torture for the lads at work. ;-)

It's on again next week, 9.30pm BBC2, and it's got NINETEEN Big Becky Thumbs Up Gold Star Seals of Approval! (Really must make a logo or something for that)
Joanna  Yeah.. watched that too.. very funny. The guy in Athens reporting on nothing whatsover at all, and Walking News.... good stuff.

And sad Babylon 5 fans (who me?)will also enjoy the fact that Claudia Christian is in it ;) 
Jane  Yeah I spotted her too. It was brill but I didn't get a chance to take it in properly think will need to watch it again. 
Anonymous  Is this thing seriously that good? I saw the trailer, it looked absolutely shit. Lame cut and paste comments to spell out a show about as funny as cancer.

But if it really is up to The Day Today, then I'll have a look. 
Alice  oh it was so funny but so true. It exactly replicated the bird flu and the BBC24 sketch was just so accurate 
Jessica  maybe it's just because i felt like i was dying of flu last night (the normal kind) but i dont think i even cracked a smile once, it was childish, and the editing was stressing me out. My thoughts on it were that it was an insult to the genius of The Day Today. But i might give it another chance next week 
tom  i saw the beginning, but it didn't look that good. maybe i should have given it longer than 90 seconds.
