It reminds me of the first, and arguably the greatest April Fool's media prank, Spaghetti Harvest in Ticino, broadcast by the BBC's then flagship documentary programme Panorama on 1 April 1957, with the reassuring and authoratitive voice of Richard Dimbleby. I was only 7 at the time but I still clearly remember the broadcast. I remember my delight and pride that my father almost immediately cottoned on to—and explained to us—the prank (unlike many other people, including the then director-general of the BBC lol). In those days, spaghetti was a rarity in the UK, available, curiously, in special tins.
