      You are right. But also the visual language of news varies slightly in different countries. This is a quintessential British news reporting. In US the visuals are more in your face, everything is visually screaming and it almost always includes arguing pundits, here in Czech republic the visual language is more stiff, less dynamic.

      Word play that is fit for a King, a 'Regents Treat'. Its extremely clever as it's about the report signing off from a location, here being 'Regent Street', and incorporating a dry pun like reporters usually do in these segments. Shit was fire, yo. Multi-layered fire.

      @Joe Honestly... Not really, because I haven't watched video-format news in almost as many years so the humor doesn't land anymore. (I subscribe to the online versions of a couple national newspapers, and visit the local TV news station's website--but don't watch their clips). So looking back on this now I think it's a solid parody of an earlier era. Even a decade ago it was more nostalgia than current criticism. I'm at the old end of millennial so I remember the local and TV news being on at home but it's not how I get my news now. I have no idea if news is still like this!

    Here's a script:"I've been teaching you guys for a few months now, and you are probably the most mature class I've ever taught (restrain desire to sink laughing and weeping into your swivel-chair), so I think you can manage this. I would appreciate if nobody told their parents. Jimmy, Nora, set up a perimeter and warn me if any other staff cross line-of-sight; Fred, hold these cymbals and crash 'em when I point at you. Screw up, and I will make you reconstruct these shots from RGB mosaic tiles."

    Pure genius.
    Brooker is brilliant, this, Gameswipe, and So Wrong It's Right, he would be close to comedy Midas if it wasn't for that horseshit zombie movie he made, that was pure pish.

    It's just news, it's just news, packaged in the same familiar way, helping to convince us we can do nothing to influence events. Spot on, Charlie.
