It's just one of those headlines that sticks in your head. I believe the original was, "Parts of the M6 are closed tonight due to a lorry driver having shed his skin across three lanes."</p> <p>The Day Today has to be one of the best shows ever. Brass Eye was great too, but TDT is a little less mean-spirited.</p> <p>Some classic headlines from TDT:</p> <p>Headmaster suspended for using big-faced child as satellite dish<br /> Where now for man raised by puffins?<br /> This the news, God I wish it wasn't<br /> TWAT! That was liquid football...<br /> Child made of paint wins by-election<br /> Disgustingly old woman sniffed to death by puppies </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45976#post-132354 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:57:33 +0000 HIGNFY 132354@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It's a little before my time actually as I am 25 (I must have been 9 or 8 when this show was on telly!) and this seems to be a show I missed, unless it was on BBC1 before 6'oclock, great find though and it looks pretty funny! </p> <p>Didn't see the Skin Shedding sketch or whatever it was though on the link, I may download some episodes though, looks a bit dated compared to some of the more recent shows on the box.</p> <p>Still funny though, not sure I like the format and I don't recognise any of the cast, I remember someone once told me to watch a show called Not The Nine O'Clock News once and I did and to me that was very old indeed and though funny it was too old fashioned, a bit like this show. </p> <p>Thanks for the link and introducing me to show though. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45976#post-132328 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 12:51:18 +0000 Sinnick 132328@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>HIGNFY - you're not living up to your pseudonym.

I have never seen the show you are talking about and no plagiarism was intended, the original headline I was thinking of was Afghan Lorry Driver Sheds Hair (Afghan Hound) - the M4 obviously because it is on the Olympic route.</p> <p>I choose skin and Slovakian based on last years story about the Slovakian guy who got that full body snake tatoo...hence shedding his skin.</p> <p>Plagiarism it certainly is not but if someone else has thought of "Shedding Skin" as oppossed to "Shedding load" then I apologise. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45976#post-132316 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 11:45:05 +0000 butagirl 132316@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>This headline was actually used on TDT, without the lorry driver's nationality and the reference to Olympic Lanes. I call plagiarism. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45976#post-132243 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 20:14:19 +0000 bonjonelson 132243@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Very Day Today </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45976#post-132235 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 17:32:53 +0000 HIGNFY 132235@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>.. </p>
