World in Ferment

1969 · 1 season

A dry, word-drunk sketch comedy that spoofs news broadcasting with clever verbal wit rather than visual flair.

Created by
Ned Sherrin
Overview
A British send-up of news magazine programmes, celebrities, and broadcasters that proudly declared “no matter where in the world news is being made, we will be somewhere else – poised to bring you the facts without fear or favour about something totally different and to bring them to you late, wrong, and garbled.”
