BBCs new "Terrorism Awards" show

[MODU]

"Uproar at BBC satire featuring Westminster 9/11 attack"

The BBC has been urged to pull a 'sick' new comedy show which features spoof news reports of Tony Blair being assassinated and a 9/11-style video of terrorists crashing an airliner into the Houses of Parliament.

The clips for an Oscar-style 'Terrorism Awards' ceremony that forms one of the sketches in the new BBC2 series, Time Trumpet.

As well as the al-Qaeda plane attack and a picture of Mr Blair with a bullet hole in the side of his head after being 'shot as he slept beside his wife', the skit also features a Hamas bombing in Tel Aviv. It is believed it was made before the recent outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East.

News reports always make funny things sound terrible.  I haven't watched the show in question, but there's a possible chance that I'd actually find it pretty funny.  I have a pretty sick sense of humor.

Iannucci never was very funny.

Well, being an American who loves Benny Hill and Monty Python . . . this variant of Brit humor (or should I say humour) sucks.

Meh, I never did find him very funny. Too clever-clever I guess. O/c it's possible that the actors never deliever his lines properly.

I'm pretty sure that most Brits have never even heard of Benny Hill.
