Well, I'm certainly amazed. All I can think of, now, is a flight of penquins crapping on my car. How'd ya' like to clean up THAT mess?

Lol!! Now THAT was funny. I can just imagine how many people believed it, too!

Of course. But it's so well done, so convincing.

I work for the studio who made it. Can't claim any direct involvement but I know all the people who worked on it.

Hard to believe it's ten years old.

Awwww it's not factual? Python's Terry Jones as the presenter (poor chap's in the grip of Dementia now) gave me an inkling to the veracity of this.

Here is what I think was the first ever TV April Fool spoof in 1957, caused much outrage about wasting Television Licence payers money on such 'silly fripperies' within the format of a serious news programme.

I wish the modern TV audience was like that! We would be spared such things as day time talk shows and soap operas, reality shows and sitcoms!
