At one point the BBC had hundreds of mediocre comedians sitting round doing nothing but panel show after panel show after panel show. Eventually they ran out of ideas for panel shows and then they made this.
It is summed up in episode one by third rate comedians desperately trying to make jokes while watching an internet viral video of a bear mauling a woman to the clear shock of the audience and the scream of Jayne Middlemiss because of how savage the attack is. Apparently this is funny because it was a worse event for the woman than a streaker getting rugby tackled.
Every single person involved in this, except perhaps Middlemiss who, to her credit is genuinely horrified, should have been fired immediately and never allowed anywhere near a tv studio ever again. I'm not entirely sure whether it could be considered the nadir of BBC output, because that's a deep well to plumb and has a lot of Jimmy Saville in it, but it's certainly some of the most callous and plain nasty things ever broadcast.
