Review

A controversial spoof of current affairs television and celebrity in the UK, Brass Eye has faced its fair share of controversy and protest. The broadcaster of the show, Channel 4, was entrenched in a war of words with the UK’s Broadcasting Standards Commission, the country's official TV watchdogs, after they ordered the network to apologize for a satirical documentary intended to spoof how the news media sensationalizes stories. In fact, the police even considered laying charges against the show, after pornographic images were shown to a former police chief being interviewed on the show. Starring comedian Christopher Morris, it seems the entire point of the show must have been to expose the sensationalism in the media, as was proven by the ensuing backlash.
