This was a spoof documentary programme, much like The Day Today was for news, created by Christopher Morris.

There were 6 episodes in the main series, and then a one-off special called Paedo-gedden, which received hundreds of complaints even before it was aired.

Highlights of the series were when he got various celebs to preach the danger of a new made-up drug called cake, and when he got Nicholas Parsons to read out a poem about a sick elephant, then on playback edited it to use only selected parts of words so that it looked like Mr. P was swearing profusely.

    my favourite part of the cake(made up drug) episode was when he played the celebritys a cut-up of the maddest parts of tunes from the likes of aphex twin and sqaurepusher and told them that it was a favourite musician on the cake scene called "dj bob hoskins going mental in dustbin"

Do you remember these?
