The BBC – Leading the way in Mass-April-Fooling for Over 50 Years
Filed Under 42 (Life the Universe & Everything) on April 1, 2009 at 7:32 pm
I’m a huge fan of the BBC, they make some of the very best TV programming in the world, and they’re record on April Fooling is also top-notch. Probably the best known BBC April Fool dates back to 1957, when a report on the bumper Swiss Spaghetti harvest hit unsuspecting Briton’s screens:
1957 is a long time ago, but last year they showed they hadn’t lost their touch yet, this time, we get to see Pengiuns fly!
If you think that looked like a lot of hard work went into making it, you’d be right!
Hopefully they managed to best even flying Penguins this year!
This is just one of the many the did this year.

Thanks Gordon … the annoying thing is, I’d actually LIKE a BBC iPlayer toaster!
