CHANNEL 4 has announced that it will broadcast a night of programming taking aim at President Donald Trump's lies and mistruths.
This will include an impersonator taking on the role of the broadcaster's continuity announcer and reading out false information.
The announcement comes just days before the American leader's state visit to the UK.
When will Channel 4 begin its night of programming on Donald Trump?
The night of programming will begin on Wednesday, September 17, the first full day of the president's state visit to the UK.
This will begin at 10pm with Donald V The Truth, which will show the president making 100 falsehoods, distortions and inaccuracies over the course of his time in office.
What can we expect from Channel 4's night of programming on Donald Trump?
Donald V The Truth will run for over seven hours, with the untrue statements being punctuated by brief text-based fact-checks.
The aforementioned impersonator will work as the show’s continuity announcer throughout the day, giving out misleading programme synopses and exaggerated running times.
Discussing the night, Ian Katz, chief content officer at Channel 4, said Donald Trump "loves making history".

They added that the channel will air, what they believe, to be the "longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television.
“We hope it will remind viewers how disorientating and dangerous the world becomes when the most powerful man on earth shows little regard for the truth.
"And if President Trump cares to watch along after the state banquet, he may even clear up a few misconceptions.”
Channel 4 will also air the second episode of The Donald Trump Show, a three-part documentary, which aims to tell the story of the last nine months of his presidency.
