Yeah, and winding up celebrities until they lose their professional nice-guy rags on camera. Of course, according to the Brass Eye thread, he didn't react well to a dose of his own medicine...

Which was of course the whole point of the stunt. Apparently his reaction to it read something like: "This was disgraceful. Why - only last week I flew to a children's hospital in my helicopter". (Are we supposed to change our opinion about him from that - hadn't they suffered enough already?)

Brass Eye - was that the one when they pretended to be a C4 News bulleting and claimed Noel had murdered Clive Anderson and was parading around with an Uzi on his back? That was funny, though I didn't catch on for a while, I was only little!

Indeed it was (only three years ago though) -hope most of show 6 (from which it was from) survives intact. It's the one episode that I haven't got!

Yeah, that newsflash was so good, I was convinced Clive Anderson was dead until Noel's name was mentioned and even then because I was going along with it (it being so well done and detailed like the rest of the series - the right news set, the "News Report" caption 'accidentally' fading up and down and back up again) it took a few seconds for what was really happening to sink in.
