Oxide Ghosts: The Brass Eye Tapes - first screening

Not all TV comedy shows stand up to repeated viewings. Some are so unmemorable that you've pretty much forgotten them before you've even finished watching. But that certainly doesn't apply to the mighty Brass Eye. When it was first broadcast on Channel 4 in early 1997, after being delayed a few months due to legal wranglings and a severe case of broadcasterly cold feet, Brass Eye was revealed to be gobsmackingly audacious.
