Brass Eye + Jam + The Day Today

3 comedy sketch programs from yesteryear.


First there was The Day Today, a TV news parody program. There were a lot of "names" involved with this and the Wiki page breaks it down pretty good so I'll just refer you to that:

Next came Brass Eye, a series of satirical spoof documentaries. Again, the Wiki page has the lowdown.

Lastly we have Jam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam_%28TV_series%29

One common denominator I noticed was the involvement of Father Ted writers Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews in all 3.
