[CinnabonChan]

"Did lesbian single mothers kill Diana?"

"Britain to be swamped by gay Asylum seekers"

"Russel Brand insults disabled people on telly. Mass outrage planned."

"Littlejohn says all autistic people are thick shits. Its okay when he says it."

"What's pissing off Melanie Philips today? Let's find out."

[187SicknesS]

[Jarren202]

Almost seven years after broadcast and the DM hasn't changed a bit.

What a brave program Monkey Dust was. Come on BBC, we want series 2 & 3 on DVD now!!!

[heliumtrophy]

Paradise awaits you my friend!

[thehegarty87]

classic

[machoTit]

i love the bac kpage "beckham gets up in the morning" haha. truthful depiction of "non-news" which pervade our tabloids.

[ps3anialator]

absolutely right!

[nowoolovermine]

How about a headline "Mail fucks up World cup bid, now Johnny Foreigner gets it"

[9toStryfe]

whats the music?

[sekopaa3]

@9toStryfe

Sounds like Boards of Canada

[Jarren202]

@sekopaa3 Yep, well spotted. It's Boards Of Canada - Open The Light (from "Music Has The Right To Children").

Monkey Dust really benefited from excellent music sourcing. The atmosphere created was spot-on, 100% of the time.

A shame some tracks had to be replaced on the commercial DVD of series 1, but it's not actually all that noticeable.

[sekopaa3]

@Jarren202

I've noticed a lot of BoC in shows. Is it public domain for them, or does BoC just get used for its ambience? Hm.

[Jarren202]

@sekopaa3 Good question. As far as I recall, the BBC can use any music they like because their broadcasts are non-profit. Obviously once they release DVDs of their shows it becomes for profit, so they have to ask permission and pay for the music included.

I think BoC are used to such an extent because they really do fit the ambience of the show. Other bands are featured heavily for the same reason; Goldfrapp (their first album), AIR, Black Box Recorder etc.

What an amazing photorealistic image of Paul Dacre

[matrix4022]

I buy the Daily Mail everyday, the only paper that speaks common sense in the UK!

[Yodelinghero1]

@matrix4022 Either you're being Ironic or you're beyond hope.

[radiodarkhorse]

That's the Boards of Canada music used in there as well

[TheMrbollox]

LOL 'Beckham gets up in the morning'

Daily Mail is the biggest crock of shit you'll ever see.

[390904902]

Ah, the Daily Mail! My favourite newspaper! Soft, strong and thoroughly absorbent!

[killwill83]

Nice BlackAdder goes Fourth quote there!

I always prefer to use a copy of King and Country myself!

[390904902]

Thank you.

I understand. Both are just as convincing as Dr Crippen's defence lawyer!

OK, I'm going to have to stop myself there.

[admiralencode]

Excellent work

[MadamMarch]

That DOES explain everything...

[worriedaboutlife]

I remeber when this thing was on a read an article which held it up as an example and said "why does modern humour have to be so dark?" Intelligent humour always gets the jack boot

[wendleberry]

Genius.

[crazymaniac123]

It's all so fucking true! They talk nothing but shit. Awesome sketch, awesome series.

[SpamSpu]

Genius. I never thought it would be that spot on.

[SillyOclock]

fairly accurate.

[thefrecklepuny]

Sad thing is my sister and her husband read the Daily Fail...:-(

[DrChalkwithering]

BAN THIS SICK FILTH!!!!!

[jtjcp88]

Spot on. Genius

[DragonNexus]

God how utterly inaccurate is this?

They didn't mention the housing prices once XD

[excrutiated]

or princess di

[DragonNexus]

You're thinking of the Daily Express

[dmallon]

True, although this was made long before the "crunch"

[ThoughtCriminal100]

Paedo asylum seekers swarm Britain.

!LoL!

but seriously, if any paper has the minerals to point out how quickly this ship is sinking, its the Mail and thats what pisses people off the most.

[ofakejs]

Well we all new that the editor was turd, that just sums it up really and honestly Paedo Asylum Seekers Swamp Britain sounds just like one of there headlines

[Samnutter3212]

That is SO spot on that its painful to watch.

[kbtreturns]

lol, my favourite bits are all the headlines - i'm pretty sure at least one of those was a real mail headline at some point!

[mrkteacosy]

Haha, so true. Love the Boards of Canada music too.

[angrydead]

at least somebody finally came out and said what every who doesnt like the Daily mail is thinking.

[robp88]

haha, monkeydust = classic, daily mail = full of shit.
