KYTV - The Complete Second Series

"Buy a KYTV satellite dish and you could win a family holiday to Paris... A year's supply of Versace clothing... and you could live forever... That's right, everlasting life could be yours, when you buy a KYTV Satellite Dish."

Sir Kenneth Yellowhammer's satellite TV station returned for a second series in what he unashamedly described as "a headlong chase for ratings at the expense of quality".

The second series of the hilarious sketch show that plundered every tacky aspect of cheap satellite broadcasting continued where it left off. Great themes and sharp scripts from Angus Deayton and Geoffrey Perkins and a great comedy ensemble kept the laughs coming.

The second series saw KYTV merge with "BSE Television" (co-incidently just as Sky were merging with BSB) and included "Brown Nose Day" - the KYTellyThon; Good Morning Calais with Anna Daptor reporting from France on the opening of the Chunnel; and a visit from the Right Reverend Reverend Wright, the resident Head of Religious Affairs, with a penchant for heavy metal hymns.
