Fictional presentation

I find presentation made for fictional TV channels in films and TV series fascinating, and thought we could have thread where we share and discuss examples of this.

I'll start with one of the best, the not yet launched BBC 12 from "2001: A Space Odyssey", as watched by the astronauts on their iPads (sorry, IBM TelePads):

The Sky News mock-ups in Independence Day were some of the best examples of this.

Indeed, quite a good cameo for Bob Friend too from what I remember, this was when NewsCorp were thinking of launching a US Sky News, but chose Fox News instead.

Shaun of the Dead features a good mix of Sky, Channel 4 and Channel 5 mock News clips of the time too. There's one scene where all of the channels they flick through have realistic looking breakdown captions, from what I remember Channel 4, E4, MTV and Bravo.

There's also a few seconds of Sky News era 2001 in Mike Bassett England Manager, which at the beginning has a mock regional news bulletin from the then Anglia News set.

Doesn't 'Dead Set' have a C4 breakdown slide appear or something similar?

ITV Sport's Jim Rosenthal and Bob Wilson used to feature in kids TV show Renford Rejects.

How about the Victoria Wood 'With all the Trimmings' special from 2000? Featured a few TV / film spoofs with pres.

A genuine BBC 1 Christmas sting was used, but featured alongside fictional digital channels like 'BBC Upmarket' complete with then-current 1997 logo style on the idents.

(BTW, don't suppose you could correct the typo in the title? )

Whenever Doctor Who used to have news inserts (as they did frequently under RTD) one of the sets appeared to resemble the 1999 studio - was it actually the same set?

Normally the BBC Wales set from that time with slightly ripped off News 24 captions.

I imagine they've deliberately made them just a little bit 'off' to stop people thinking aliens were really invading!

Yes you may laugh, but they believed Orson Welles!

Hence my use of "slightly" - I'd have expected them to use something more different. Or at least a name other than "NEWS 24". Just from looking at the graphics, someone (obviously nobody here [well, almost nobody, I can think of a couple]) could easily be confused into thinking it was an actual BBC News report.

I was thinking about something else - I believe the programme is supposed to resemble CNN?
