2004: The Stupid Version

Armando Iannucci presents a surreal look back at the past year, remembering events that rocked the world to its foundations - or would have if they'd actually happened. News footage is re-edited to create such bizarre incidents as the Pope melting, George Bush running over a tramp and the set of EastEnders being decimated by a meteor shower. Andrew Marr remembers the fateful day the House of Commons was invaded by stampeding elephants and there's shocking footage of a bloodthirsty massacre on a makeover show. Plus, what goes on in Rebecca Loos' head, secret footage of an al-Qaida brainstorming session and what really moved Paula Radcliffe to tears
