Additional Specials

  • SPECIAL 0x1 2004 - The Stupid Version

    • December 31, 2004

Some of the material hit home - particularly the news footage of US politicians, re-edited to create a montage of scare-mongering catchphrases - and the whole concoction was a refreshing antidote to the standard one-dimensional retrospectives clogging the schedules every December.

    • BBC Two

    A mockumentary taking a comic-look at how the Lewinsky scandal is perceived in the year 2028.
