Victor Lewis-Smith on Don't Watch That Watch This
At first sight, the rapid cutting of studio-based footage to create a bizarre mosaic looks much like last year's disappointing Broken News, but because it's real-life broadcasters and politicians who are being satirised, the result is surprisingly addictive, even though the series has clearly been made on a shoestring.
