Welcome to the world of the DAT television corporation. DAT is a set of sketches and videos. it's a mixture of stupid characters and ideas brought together in short 20 minute videos.

Here are some of the characters in DAT:

Barry Mahatmaghandi

Barry is arguably DAT's most favourite character, He's Indian of course but has a canny knack for getting just about everything he does completely wrong. He was loosely based on Barry Norman as he originally introduced the Indian version of Film programs. He would intruduce Film 98 something like this:

Hello folks Barry Mahatmagandhi here and welcome to Film 98. On Film 45 we're being honored to have the latest movies, so here on Film 66 we have ere for you the latest version of the Indrian film, Alien twenty five and a half.....

Barry in later DAT episodes dreams of being a pop star and made his own pop video on Dob of the Bobs where he was number one for over 2 years.
The lyrics to his song are:
Get wicked folks I am Mangndi, the fastest rapper this side of Ipswitch. Some  of you may think I'm randy, but that's my dad who's from Bagdad.
Lets keep it between you and me the C.I.D. is after me. Life is a jungle, Jungles are free! Life isn't free it's seven pounds fifty eight plus tax an all other expenses.....
Lets keep it between you and me the C.I.D. is after me, Life if a jungle, Jungles are free! Life isn't free , WHAT THE HELL AM I ON ABOUT?

Barry has also popped up as a guest on a local Pirate radio station where he obviously caused a lot of chaos for the DJ's.

Matthew Kelly

Matthew was a news reader on DAT but only got as far as saying "Good Evening" when he was instantly shot by the Masked Avenger for being a complete Nob.

Funkenstein

Funkenstein loves to dance, he's not really scary or anything as he kinda just stands there making silly faces until he hears some music, then all hell breaks loose with the crazy disco lights and the stompy dancing. Oddly enough he gets really confused when the music stops and just stands there, waiting for something to happen.

The Masked Avenger

Don't you dare go doing something stupid now, as this anonymous nutter will pop along to sort you out. And he's got one of them big guns to help him along. To date he is known to have shot the following characters:

• Matthew Kelly - Shot for being a complete nob.

• Professor Inofskie - Shot for drawing breasts on screen.

• Vernon Crybonds - Shot for not having a life (He collects cardboard boxes).

It's unclear if any of the characters survived as I get the feeling he only shot them in the leg to proove a point.

He is also referred to by "That twit in the mask" But if you do use that reference, make sure he ain't around as he will target your ass. Actually not just your ass, he will probably shoot you in various other places too including your , and bloody hell that would hurt! 

Mr Strange

Mr Strange is one weird person, he literally defies the laws of Physics. It's not really easy, or possible, to put into words how odd he is! The first time you meet him he's in bed with the alarm clock ringing loudly, he turns it off and gets up. Nothing odd about that you may say, but when he goes back to bed, he turns the alarm back on and goes to sleep with it ringing away all night. What a nutter

In the picture above we see him doing some DIY, he's whacking his hand with a hammer and he stops the pain in his fingers by chopping them off with a meat cleaver, silly man! 

He's never been shot by that twit in a mask yet as there's no point, the bullet would miss, bounce off the walls a few times and hit the person with the gun, probably.

David Atombomb

Mr Atombomb is loosely based on David Attenborough as he presents a wildlife program called "Safari Sunday". In his last program he was blown to bits when he stepped on a nest of Fortyate Kay Nostric Loughs. And as we all know, these cunning little creates have a defence mechanism of exploding when stepped on.

Professor Inofskie

The Prof hosts seminars on the very interesting subject of squiggly lines. He last appeared on the Open Universtity and was shot by the Masked Avenger for drawing a pair of boobs on screen. Whether he was aware of what he drew or not is unknown, but who cares as being honest, if you had a gun and you saw some upper class numpty making a fortune out of drawing women's bits and passing it off as physics, you would aim and shoot, I know I would.

Stay tuned when the prof returns and explains about particle trace beams and draws another squiggly line that just happens to resemble another part of the female anatomy, and for some inexplicable reason it's more like a self portrait, that's right it's a CT.
