The Games + This Is Littleton + Utopia


Three similar Australian comedy shows from 16 years apart.

The Games, a mockumentary which aired in late 1998, was about the preparation for the 2000 Olympics. You may recall the more recent British mockumentary called Twenty Twelve which was about preparation for the 2012 Olympics? (That spun off a show which aired last winter called W1A where some of the Twenty Twelve management team is hired by the BBC...and will be returning in the future). 

This Is Littleton is a political comedy sketch show that takes place in a city council administrative office.

Utopia, which aired over the past couple of months, is a satirical comedy about "a newly created government organisation responsible for overseeing major infrastructure projects".
