A surreally mischievous take on the week's news stories by the inimitable Dom Joly, best known for Trigger Happy TV, which reinvented the hidden camera format.

In a mash-up of prank calls, interviews and features, Dom Joly Breaks The News attempts to get to the bottom of the biggest stories of the week.

Dom's serious about tackling the actual news of the week. He just wonders whether approaching it from a slightly different angle might give us a more interesting answer.
