I've just seen News 24 on Louis Theroux and it had www.bbc.co.uk/news in the corner and a large white clock with the red live aston. Was it mocked?

Stagnley Sky News appeared to be in widescreen as well.

Clearly faked. Question is why? And how much more in the so called documentry was faked?

It was quite obviously a pathetic attempt to get News 24 some publicity.

The Hamiltons constantly talked about Sky throughout the programme and it was a very petty attempt by the BBC to gain back a bit of ground. Why bloody bother?

You've got to wonder what else they've had a play about with.

The docu was going fine until I saw that bit, I turned over soon after, realising it was just being used by the BBC as an opportunity to promote themselves, not the Hamiltons.

What a load of **** e.

Well the reason will have been that the original version will have been provided by News 24 clean without any DOG's etc. As to why the looked different - the programme may have done it themselves without talking to News 24 .... and I doubt that it was done just to get News 24 publicity .... if it was then the programme could have used BBC clips throughout but they obviously went to the trouble of getting stuff from SKY - which to my eye also looked mocked up as well.
