Dunno, do you not remember that taxi driver who got interviewed in bbc studio because of the confusion they thought he was a correspondent for business tech. Link below if you don’t 😂 th-cam.com/video/jhv9HJaA67c/w-d-xo.html
@@mrsusan5672 who knows I think I’d like to just continue thinking it wasn’t, I mean just think about what happens when the bloke gets home to his wife and they sit down for dinner. 👩🏼💼”So hunny did you have a good day at work in the taxi?” 👨🏿🦲”Well you know I had the strangest day……….” 👩🏼💼”Ohh wait shh shh, hold on a minute the news is just coming on, tell me after ok….I’m wanting to hear this interview that’s coming up.”
Brilliant stuff ... Des mentioning 'in the professional manner that we do' at the perfect moment. I thought it was too good to be true when Des said, 'Let's see that again'. Then I found out it WAS too good to be true!
@@mudhut1967 absolutely fake. It’s the BBC!!! If this shit was real, they’d make damn sure nobody knew about it.....you know, just like Jimmy Savilles seedy antics.
My favourite hoax was on " Nationwide" and was about a local authority which built a school upside down. It was believed because the story centred on an inept council...very believable. But the most interesting hoax centred on a government research station cloning DINOSAURS. This was in the 1970's BEFORE "Jurassic Park " was written. Wonder if the programme inspired the book???
The good ole days of afternoon sport, the vidiprinter and that unwashed guy doing the racing, the one with funny arm signals who looked like he was on day release from the spacca society.
Legend. Sure it wouldn,t be allowed today for fear of teaching kids violence or some dribble of a reason. - Fooled me till I saw one bloke grab the others bum
Am Surprised the BBC would do such a thing like that . Aren't thet suppossed to be the posh lot ? Would have thought that sort of thing would have been left to ITV
Lol when he said "backed up by our highly our highly professional team"
you could see the slight grin on des's lips right just after he's hearing what's happening behind him in his earpiece...lol
Big up my man Des Lynam always and forever
It is a tradition to watch this every April Fools Day.
0:49 the smile while rewatching the fight😂💯
"But in the great tradition of television sport....let's just see that again" 😆
1:17 “Well, apparently, there were no serious injuries, no cut eyes, we maybe even found an opponent for Gary Mason.” 😂😂😂
If only the BBC still had a sense of humour like this.

@@ubertroopertv1557 Not gonna lie, I was half expecting that to be a rick roll! But thanks for the reminder, that was brilliant! Was it legit?

they still do.
Or that time when the BBC interviewed a dog in the studio.
Brilliant stuff ...

One of the best things I've ever seen on live TV. April Fool's Day.
Way back, when fake shit was funny. The good old days...
Fake?

@@sirlaughsalot1977 it's April fool, see the end
'... our highly professional team.' - superb comedy timing from Des!
I’m sure when Des says “quite remarkable” he’s channelling Spitting Image’s impressions of David Coleman
"It was absolutely quite remarkable there"
David Coleman would be proud.
seahawk124 oh I miss Colemanballs!

I recall a mate saying that the Beeb should never have revealed that it was a prank.
old days were class
nah more like ass
I like the way how people behind the Grandstand studio have shown the 'April Fool' sign at 1:23.
Des lynam didn’t even notice that there’s a fight going on behind him
I actually do remember watching this on BBC grandstand when I was eleven years old in 1989...I must admit was in Stitches...lol
DES was always the professional
Should have stuff like this more often in programmes.
I remember me and my bro falling for this!
0:27 was the best part
'April Fool'? Who knows? Could just be covering up the fact that it was a real barney!
Backed up by our highly professional team 🤣😆😂
why is television so boring today... I wish the old times back
jaws must have dropping everywhere when first shown
While the fight was on, he just had to say "We'll continue to deliver the sport you like, backed up by a highly professional team" didn't he? xD
The only opponent Gary Mason has seen lately was the truck
Des legend lineham! That was really quite remarkable! 🤣
Greatest April Fool joke ever...
Try it nowadays and Health and Safety would go nuts.. They'd all be in high vis vests and hard hats!. LMFAO!.
that's not true at all
This should be done more often! Brilliant.
Saturday 1st April 1989, I'm pretty sure.
April twenty three, did you end up the April fool? 😅🤣😂🙄🇬🇧🇬🇧
Simply superb.
Doesn't look like no holds barred unarmed combat
The good ole days of afternoon sport, the vidiprinter and that unwashed guy doing the racing, the one with funny arm signals who looked like he was on day release from the spacca society.
I remember watching that live !
Yes, very well done!
Highly professional team showing how to get into a rugby scuffle
Really I was fooled!
Seen this many times only now found out it was april fools, slightly disappointed
Action replay is a nice touch
Looked real at first...and sounded like life in general
'highly pro team'
'Grandstand' was usually broadcast after mid-day. This particular one certainly was. 'April Fool's Day' only counts in the morning.
It was recorded in the studio in the morning and then played out "as live" later.
Most of the famous TV "April Fools" jokes have been after noon, the famous "Spaghetti Trees" on Panorama for instance.
That was great I remember when they did that.
All fighting over who gets the last dougnut
It's Ronnie Pickering!
lol Ronnie Pickering makes that look tame
As Malcolm Tucker might have said, that looked like the super-gayweight title fight!
This was shown on Have I Got News For You tonight.
What legends
Excellent
I remember this s**t when it happened. LOL.
April 1 1989 and i was fooled as well ! (even though it was after 12).
Brilliant Dave
Ah the brilliant Des Lynham 🤣
it looks as if it was a joke fight thats why des says backed up by a highly professional team
April FOOLs!
April 1st if memory serves me well!!!
I couldn't see anything apart from the moustache
Lol, I was born April 1st
This was an April fools joke 😎
do u think?
did the description "April fool joke on the BBC Sports show Grandstand" give it away
jesus...
Haha I love the deadpan action reply very funny
With all due respect, watch the full video and you'll find out.
@ucla4eva - Grandstand's finished because. All the sport BBC used to show is being shown by Sky Sports.
Where's the handbags ?
was this wrestling coming to bbc
Should have been on World of Sport, then we could have had Kent Walton commentating on it.
Makes up for the BBC not covering the wrestling!
1st April 1989
thats life and newsround used to have april fools day prank features and they where BBC products
April fooo-ool!!!!!!!!!
Monty Python could not have done it better.
Legend. Sure it wouldn,t be allowed today for fear of teaching kids violence or some dribble of a reason. - Fooled me till I saw one bloke grab the others bum
i demand a slow mo action replay :)
Duxbury!!!
It would have been funnier without revealing the end. of it,
CALL THAT A FIGHT I HAD BIGGER SCRAPS IN NURSERY
Back when everyone was Dave and had a tass
Genius!
Did anyone get Sacked?
@ucla4eva I'm afraid not - it finished 4 years ago - just 2 years short of being 50!! :(
Dave had just found out the other guy is dating his 12 year old daughter
isn't the guy from countdown dead
This is hilarious 😁👍
Aye golden moment. Made me laugh
The days of proper presenters. Not robotic. Human behavior.
he was given a wrong result and didnt like it lol
Hilarious miss this stuff..
Im sure that was an April Fools prank at the time?
Quality!!!!
April Fools!!
Superb
was it the youtube footage?
@ucla4eva sadly it finished some years back and i use to love watching it too

LMAO!..That was brilliant! Nice job guys! :D
Am Surprised the BBC would do such a thing like that . Aren't thet suppossed to be the posh lot ? Would have thought that sort of thing would have been left to ITV
of this was USA, the police (after watching) would roll up and unload into everyone.
Thats pure Des liquid right there
That's Des Lynam!
