Part
sitcom and part sketch show KYTV
features some of the key names
in late 80's comedy including
Angus Deayton (who before he
became a quiz show host and News
of the World headline grabber
was actually a good comedy bet),
the excellent Geoffrey Perkins,
Helen Atkinson Wood (now
whatever happened to her, she
was really good) and all rounder
Philip Pope. There
are punning names (Deayton plays
Mike Channel and Atkinson Wood
is Anna Daptor) and send ups of
every type of show from
travelogue to religious
programming, each show itself is
rather spuriously themed too,
the pilot is called Siege Side
Special and focuses on KYTV's
lame attempts to provide an
exclusive on a terrorist seige,
other episodes take the form of
a Royal Wedding special and an
Anneka Rice take off in the form
of Challenge Anna.
