I like his dramatisations of publicly available video, like footage of parliament, that he is legally not allowed to use over here as his programmes count as satire.

That's right, in the UK it is actually illegal to use footage of parliament for satirical purposes.

Luckily, there is little need to satirise parliament, as they usually do a fine job of making themselves look utterly ridiculous without any external help. Every time I see footage of it these days I feel like I'm watching the worlds most boring medieval reenactment society.



Acuualy the written parlimentry sketches are much funnier.
