1st Broadcast 1999
Dirk Maggs
A comedy series looking at who has had a bad week, and why
Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis trawl the world’s media outlets in search of tales of woe, disaster and misfortune - and then have a good laugh at them. From gigantic corporate cock-ups to the sad failures of the humblest individual, It’s Been a Bad Week is unflinching in its search for stories that reflect the calamitous misfortunes which occur daily around the globe. Drawing on a mixture of sketches, songs, impressions, guest contributions and scripted news items, the show targets the week’s well-known bad news stories, governmental disasters, royal excesses, celebrity misbehaviour as well as a myriad of less well-publicised stories from Britain and abroad.
