I saw this, brilliant stuff

All ITV bosses have been turned into cybermen. They will obey the syco king. All those who fail to worship are deleted. After all you don't hear about Steve Brookstein anymore!”

Quite. The few minutes of it I had the misfortune of accidentally catching last night suffered the dreadfully predictable "I can't hear what you're saying because I've got headphones on, so I'm going to encourage you to repeat yourself louder and louder before taking my headphones off and asking you why you're shouting" 'joke'. Ugh.
