Oh no, it may offend some muslims, quick apologise before their religion collapses due to a mild mickey take.

Here's the video. It's obviously just a bit of harmless fun and was never intended for public viewing. The snivelling little snitch who released it obviously needs to be publicly flogged.
This is nothing compared to what channels indulge in for TRP ratings, its just one TV studio taking a crack at another... why cause a stir?!

This would have been a standard Not the Nine o'clock News sketch 20 years ago.
The world has gone bloody PC mad.
Maybe if the world could laugh at itself a bit more, we might just get on.

Aside from the fact that it is a shite, badly produced, poorly scripted and atrociously directed piece of material performed by wankers I have no real problem with it. It is the BEEB after all.

does anybody even understand what this video is? its a leaving video done for one of the guys who left the department for the new AJ english language channel. they even say it in the text. its a bit of fun between work mates, and a standard in TV companies. its not typical brit, its typical tv. so the comments above belong in the uninformed and clueles box.

I can't imagine the Germans doing such a thing. They would just buy the guy a cutlery set and say "Viel Glück, Herr Schmidt". So I think it's a fairly British thing to do.
I think everyone fully understands what the video is about.
Go join 666 in the corner.

Not only was it not even remotely funny, it was horribly painful to watch because it was soooo bad.
