When the BBC decides to do an April Fools joke, they don’t take any shortcuts. This new trail for the iPlayer, for example: Terry Jones discovers flying penguins in Antarctica.
Beautifully shot, seamless CGI, tongue firmly in cheek. A true successor to the legendary spaghetti trees. I love the confused toucan.
Even better, I think someone at the Telegraph may have had a sense of humour bypass and is reporting the penguins as actual news… EDIT: nope, it seems to be a joke shared by the Beeb, the Telegraph and (bizarrely) the Mirror, who went a bit far with the joke (the last paragraph spoils it somewhat, I think).
(If you’re outside the UK, you won’t be able to see the iPlayer video linked above – try this mirror at YouTube or this one, also at YouTube).
