The Chaser’s War on Everything returns to the ABC tonight after being suspended for two weeks, and it will also debut on British television.
The Chaser team has concluded a deal that will see a 6 episode compilation of highlights from the 2006 and 2007 seasons air on BBC4 from today.
The comedy will air before Flight of the Conchords.
Executive Producer Julian Morrow said, “The BBC is the most respected broadcaster in the world, or it least it was until it acquired The Chaser’s War on Everything.
“But to be honest, we’re happy to be on air anywhere at the moment.”
Naturally…
It isn’t the first time the show has attracted international attention.
After that infamous APEC stunt in 2007, the ABC attracted considerable interest for the show at MIPCOM. The team says it has previously been sold, in deals brokered by ABC Commercial, “to broadcasters in the USA, Japan, New Zealand, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Poland, Israel and Mongolia” (that last one is presumably a gag).
It is also understood to be one of North Korean despot Kim Jong-Il‘s favourite shows.
