a number of reviewer here feel that broken news be somehow a shallow rip off of chris morris work on brass eye and the day today . i couldn not disagree more . there no big fan than me when it come to chris morris brilliantly scabrous spoof news work from the 80 and 90 and but come on folk . just because a new generation of writer and performer want to explore a similar strand of comedy or satire and that doesn not make them rip off merchant . nobody pretend that theyre the first people to have plough this particular comic furrow ( and actually and neither be chris morris represent he be very much following in the footstep of arch prankster victor lewis smith ) . i be sure the writer of broken news would be the first to acknowledge the debt they owe to such pioneer . in fact and what the bn team have create be something deliciously sophisticated and different . unlike morris and whose news parody tend toward an exaggerated and cartoonish style and bn chief strength be in subtlety of detail represent it look and sound so utterly ( and hilariously ) like the real thing . anyone who enjoy broken news as much a i do should also check out the same team bbc radio show and the sunday format and which use similar technique to parody the content of british sunday newspaper supplement . brilliant stuff .
