Flying Penguins

I love this video from the BBC – celebrating both April Fools Day and the BBC iPlayer. There is a long tradition of April Fools hoaxes on the BBC, going back to the infamous “Spaghetti Tree” incident of 1957, when it was reported that “Spaghetti is not a widely-eaten food in the UK and is considered by many as an exotic delicacy.”

You can see the “making of” film here.
