Summary

A sketch show loosely based around Britain's smallest TV station.

The station is strapped for cash, so all of its productions tend to be of the 'cheap and cheerful' kind.

Spoof documentaries, bogus news items, parodies of period dramas and all manner of other television-related skits were included.

Musical interludes were provided by Neil Innes.
