Season 3 • Episode 7
LatestKYTV was a sketch-based show which lampooned the new satellite television companies which had begun to operate in the UK. Each week, a different aspect of 'cheap' television production and broadcasting provided the 'theme' for the sketches in the programme. Inept links and amateurish presentation were very much the order of the day.
Acting
Deayton's deadpan amid total disaster
Writing
Razor-sharp media satire that aged weirdly well
Production
Intentionally cheap sets that become the joke
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show's title parodies Sky TV, which had just launched in the UK in 1989—making this essentially a roast of Rupert Murdoch's baby.
Much of the cast reunited for 'The Day Today' and 'Brass Eye', making KYTV a secret prototype for 90s British satire.
