So I've finally found a reason to wish I was Australian, with the show The Chasers War on Everything. In particular, their round up of the Week In Current Affairs (found through the excellent idents.tv) was one of the funniest things I've seen since, well, Friday Night, when the new series of Peep Show started.
I think the funniest thing before that was probably Crufts. After that I lose track.
You can watch a flash version of the Week In Current Affairs here. Why can't we have something like that here? The US gets the Daily Show, the Aussies this and we get ... Rory Bremner? No, no, not the same thing. At All.
