Do you remember, twenty years or so ago, on Not The Nine O'Clock News, Mel Smith and Pamela Stephenson (IIRC) reading the news?
(Roughly:)
Seventy people have died in a train crash in India, but it doesn't matter because that's a long way away and we don't know any of them. Thirteen people have been injured in a bus crash in France, but their English wasn't very good. An airliner has crashed in South Africa. The victims were, in order of importance, two Americans, four South Africans, two Australians and a German."
That should be put back on the TV tonight.
Also, I should make it my business to get hold of the whole run.
