Arts: BBC's cheapest ever comedy

He was talking about Comedy Nation, a weird programme shot on hand-held videos that is a cross between BBC 2's public access slot Video Nation and a traditional sketch show. If it is terrible it will be fortunate because it is likely to be the cheapest comedy show ever broadcast by the BBC.
