Our thanks to Raymond for this piece (10:16) on BBC iPlayer (you’ll need a BBC licence to watch it). At 2:35 there’s the start of a sequence with which we’re familiar, and have assumed was a spoof purporting to be made by BBC3. But it’s a genuine piece by the (online only) channel. The BBC can do it, if it tries. In the meantime, the funniest thing on the BBC today is Dad’s Army, which goes back 50 years. We assume the BBC shows Dad’s Army endlessly because it portrays often absurd men of a certain age.
