Hoaxes, fakes and pranks


Listen Later

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore hoaxes, fakes and pranks on screen for April Fool's Day.

Mark is joined by documentarian Morgan Neville and Anna Bogutskaya for a deep dive into Orson Welles’ 1973 docudrama about forgers and fakery, F for Fake.

And Ellen looks back at small screen hoaxes, from the 1970s sci-fi mockumentary Alternative 3 to the terrifying BBC1 Halloween drama Ghostwatch via a sprinkling of Noel's House Party, with the help of writers David Ambrose and Mark Gatiss.

Also, critic and filmmaker Mark Cousins shares his Viewing Notes.
