大象传媒

Vacuum cleaners, Chinese takeaways and fatherly advice abound in the darkly comic world of Victor Lewis-Smith.

Award-winning controversial comedy surfaced on 大象传媒 Radio 1 in 1990 in the shape of Victor Lewis-Smith. The writer and producer took a comedy cudgel to the self-satisfied, mid-Atlantic style of the very network he was appearing on - with hoax phone calls, sketches, plus comic takedowns of high profile celebs. It's all deliciously sandwiched between the original jangly Radio 1 jingles made by JAM Creative Productions in Dallas, USA.

Winner of the British Comedy Awards 1990 for Best Radio Comedy.

After making 12 late night programmes for Radio 1, Victor took aim at TV in 1993 with 大象传媒 TWO's Inside Victor Lewis Smith, before sparking another stir on Channel 4 in 1998 with TV Offal.
