@Barseps

You fixed this video, do you remember what it is well enough to call it a dupe?

Time Trumpet was such a clever clever show! I though it was The Day Today ... it stinks of Armando

that's from Armando Iannucci's series called Time Trumpet.

classic. it's from time trumpet by the way.

the guy in the chair left a comment on pootube...

'I'm the one featured in this clip, I'm a Welfare Rights Adviser and History Student from Bristol. This was made from genuine clips from my appearance on Mastermind in 2004 cleverly spliced together to make me look even more stupid than I really am. I blame the shirt, which was not my choice but supplied by the BBC wardrobe department because the lighing dept didn't like my own one.'

Love Stewart Lee, he was a riot in Time Trumpet.

"...here’s a compilation of a few bits along the theme of ‘No News’ that I did for Time Trumpet last year. People tend to think that it’s all footage I’ve got from the BBC of newsreaders before they go on air (which I did have access to), but I made these from transmitted footage, which I tinkered with to make it look as if they weren’t saying anything. It’s not funny as such but it’s pleasingly odd I think. Enjoy! And by the way, should you be interested, my episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks should be out sometime in March." adam-buxton.co.uk, 1/27/07

From Time Trumpet isn't it? Does the thing at the end indicate it was written by the great Adam Buxton? There's no news but I have so many questions!

As someone who's followed Adam Buxton's career for at least a decade - I can say it's not fake (and was indeed used on Armando Ianucci's Time Trumpet - possibly where the visual effects came from). I agree with FastFrets comment above, it's setup in a way (the kids playing a game with his dad to recite whats said, I think anyway).

I love this clip even more now I know it's actually the kid talking...

"Tiny TV Boss was something I made last year after buying a video baby monitor to keep an eye on our son Frank. Like the Pope’s funeral bit, it ended up being used as part of my Edinburgh show and I thought I might use it somewhere else but the moment seems to have passed so I decided to release it into the netsphere. Several people who’ve seen it have assumed that it’s me doing a baby impression but I assure you my vocal skills don’t stretch quite that far and the voice you hear is genuinely that of Frank who was about 2 and a half at the time. He was genuinely talking into a phone and it’s me on the other end so it’s more or less as real as you can get. I did a few more bits with Frank along the same lines, which I may try to post in due course. I also gave Armando a thing I shot with him for possible Time Trumpet use so we’ll see if Frank makes it to the small screen when the show comes out. Incidentally I negotiated a very generous buy out with Frank for the use of this stuff, so there’s no need to worry about him being exploited. Let’s just say he’s now got more Bionicles than any tiny human could possibly need, want or destroy."
