Brass eye

A profound example of a mockumentary on TV in Britain in 1996 - a series of 6 documentaries covering such topics as Drugs (featuring a bogus drug called Cake), Good Science/Bad Science (featuring an appeal to protect people from "heavy" electricity falling out of overhead wires and squashing people!) and one special mocking the media frenzy surrounding paedophile stories. They are available on DVD and video and are totally worth a look.
