A screenshot of just one of the many uplifting stories featured on the MailOnline website today

The other day, in ​an interview with MailOnline publisher Martin Clarke in the Wall Street Journal, the idea of a Daily Mail TV show was floated, apparently seriously:

Ultimately, Mr. Clarke has ambitions beyond the Internet. He said the site had been approached by several producers about possibly developing a television program in the U.S. modeled after “Access Hollywood” or “Entertainment Tonight.”

But it turns out it’s something totally different and more innovative that that. In fact, we found a clip from the original pilot! 

Apparently it was directed by some guy named ​Char​lie Brooker.
