A frenetic, absurdist satire of broadcast news that prioritizes surreal comedy and institutional mockery over warmth or narrative coherence.

A spoof of the British news — including ridiculous stories, patronising vox pops, offensively hard-hitting research and a sports presenter clearly struggling for metaphors. Adapted from Radio 4 series 'On the Hour'.
