1113 You've Been Framed
First viewed : Uncertain
Like Mr Bean , this started in 1990 and I've no idea when I first caught it. You've Been Framed was basically It'll Be Alright on the Night with the crucial difference that the content was supplied by the viewing public, empowered by the camcorder boom, rather than the ITV archivists. In that respect the show was genuinely groundbreaking. Jeremy Beadle was the first host, followed by Emmerdale actress Lisa Reilly, Jonathan Wilkes and since 2004, a voiceover by Harry Hill.
It was pretty lowbrow stuff, lots of pet antics and babies falling over, but it would be hard for anyone to avoid finding something amusing. There was also an increasing suspicion that some of it was staged, the mishap being well signposted.
You might have thought that YouTube would have put it to bed by now but it's still going strong and we're now onto series 30.
