The thing that makes it really work is that there really used to be documentaries in exactly that style on the BBC a decade or two ago. Similarly [Look Around You](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LqYBncyKpM) (produced by the same folks as _Birds Of Britain_) is an astonishingly close parody of genuine educational programmes that the BBC used to broadcast - the first time I saw it, it was a couple of minutes before I was really sure it wasn’t for real. ---

[QUOTE=Mangetout] The thing that makes it really work is that there really used to be documentaries in exactly that style on the BBC a decade or two ago. [/QUOTE] Even though I’m not British, I can tell just the sort of humor they’re going for. It does seem like an actual documentary, until you get to the parts about starlings emigrating from Starlingrad and “worker ducks” digging holes in the water. I find subtle humor like that very funny. ---

Ah! Good this got bumped, the latest favorite of mine is this recent British(?) air show put to the tune of _Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines_. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/r8lv9mWTqtE/hqdefault.jpg "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8lv9mWTqtE) (4 seconds of black screen at the beginning, but then the images appear) Amazing acrobatics, and you get to see a WW2 plane flying next to a jet fighter that is keeping the pace. (Any British dopers can identify the air show, the guy laughing at the end and the flag?) ---

[Ernest & Bertram](http://blog.wired.com/tableofmalcontents/2007/01/sundance_2007_s_2.html) (some strong language) This film, a good response to the “Bert and Ernie are gay” rumors, was pulled from circulation after the producers of _Sesame Street_ threatened legal action. No, those two Muppets aren’t gay…but what if, as the rubber-ducky loving orange guy puts it, that was the one lie that had an ounce of truth in it? The ending manages to be both horrific and hilarious at the same time. ---
