    I saw this a couple of months ago, and thought it was hyperbolic at the time. However, with every new media story about bank losses and 'bailouts', this comedy bit seems to come closer to actual facts ! SCARY !

    I believe it is a regular comedic series. I am not sure though. There seem to be a lot of segments out there.

    Yeah. They are a duo that have been going in the UK for years. As a comedy duo they have known each other decades. I seem to recall reading that they met at University = probably Oxford or Cambridge.

    The show they are on is called 'Bremner, Bird and Fortune' and is on Channel 4 in the UK. They do one of those skits each week. They are both called John as I recall. The Bremner is Rory Bremner - one of the UK's best political satirists and impressionists ... his Tony Blair was excellent.

    Moving away from the UK, it was one of the few TV shows I missed as most of Europe does not have commercial British TV - only the BBC, though that is changing now.
