Spoof adverts

The spoof broadcasts were made for Channel 4 News

They have been made by Lee Ford and Dan Brooks, creators of 2005's most forwarded viral email, the spoof TV commercial where a suicide bomber blows himself up in a VW Polo.

Following that controversy, the pair has been in great demand.

This is their take on the nature of the party political broadcast.

Ford said: "C4 gave us a completely open brief to do whatever we wanted. Basically, we set about creating the kind of broadcasts the three main parties would like to make if there were no regulations and they didn't have to be politically correct.

"The aim is leave the viewer thinking, 'O my God, did they actually make that?'"
