Eating Media Lunch - The Worst of EML
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2006
In this highlights special culled from the first four years of Eating Media Lunch, presenter Jeremy Wells keeps a straight face whilst mercilessly satirising all manner of mainstream media. Rather than a traditional 'Best Of' format, the episode presents the 'Worst Of', showcasing controversial and bizarre moments, from the tongue-in-cheek to the truly jaw-dropping. Clips include; goading talkback radio hosts, terrorist bloopers, Destiny Church protests, plus three of the show's most outrageous moments: the making of an indigenous porn film, the demise of celebrity sheep Shrek, and the opening Country Calendar parody.
