Has anyone seen this show? It's a great fake news show from Britain. There was an episode on drugs where they fooled an MP into believing that a new drug 'Cake' was a threat to society.
Quote:
The second episode was called "Drugs", and is considered by many to be the most successful of the series. In the opening scene, a voiceover tells viewers that there are so many drugs on the streets of Britain, "not even the dealers know them all". An undercover reporter (Morris) asks a drug dealer in London for various fictional drugs, including "Triple - sod", "Yellow Bentines" and "Clarky Cat", leaving the dealer puzzled and increasingly irritated until he tells the reporter to leave. He also asks the dealer if he is the "Boz-Boz", and claims that he doesn't want his arm to feel "like a fortnight in a bad balloon". Later on in the episode, in the same area, Morris dresses as a baby with a nappy on, and a red balloon like hat on his head, and again asks for "triple - sod", and then says that "He had a friend once that got triple - jacked with a steeplehammer, and jessop jessop jessop", repeating the last words to make fun of "drug slang".
David Amess, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Southend West, was fooled into filming an elaborate video warning against the dangers of a fictional Eastern European drug called Cake, and went as far as to ask a question about it in Parliament [1]. The drug purportedly affected an area of the brain called "Shatner's Bassoon" and was frequently referred to as "a made-up drug". Other celebrities such as Sir Bernard Ingham, Noel Edmonds and Rolf Harris were shown holding the bright-yellow cake-sized pill as they talked, with Bernard Manning telling viewers that "One kiddy on Cake, cried all the water out of his body. Just imagine how his mother felt. It's a fucking disgrace." and that "...you can puke yourself to death on this stuff - one girl up her own pelvis. What a fucking disgrace."

The best comedy show ever.
"Cake is also known as Joss Ackland's Spunky Backpack, Hattie Jaques Portentious Cheese Wog"
"And remember cake is a madeup drug"
The series and special are available on DVD
Chris Morris was also involved with the TV Show The Day Today, Jam which was a radio & Tv show and the less successful TV show Nathan Barley last year.
He also did a brilliant short radio show called Why Bother? with Peter Cook.

Have you ever seen the Ali G where he talks to this uptight DEA asshole? I don't remember any particular quotes, but it was hilarious.
