Z for Fake

Aparently the folks at BBC2 were made to look twits as it seems they showed something instead of the right Z for Fake after People like us.

The announcer made a special announcement before cutting to the right program.

Very strange. I don't know what happened as I wasn't concentrating.

Any other info?

Yes,It was this sort of Theater show,then I went to the toilet,and when I came back,it was the 'Blade' ident with no identification at the bottom! I heard '....But now we can bring back the real Z for Fake' Apparently my mum said the announcer said that they had been made to look like a twit,or some thing.

(BTW I can't get in the archive forum! )

I was watching this without sound but caught the twits remark.

It was a spoof announcement, as part of the Z for Fake programme (shown about 30secs after the proper introduction - funnily enough, with Blade!)

There was no mistake - it was meant to be like that!

Ah, I see.

I seem to vaguely remember them doing spoof Channel 4 announcements a while back - more obvious.

You could tell it was a spoof announcement because it was subtitled.

I have to say I'm not sure Z for Fake is worth the 10 minutes of airtime it gets, even on BBC choice...
