DJ Solid Snail | Chris Morris - Torque TV (Brass Eye pilot) @DJSolidSnail | Uploaded March 2012 | Updated October 2024, 21 minutes ago.
The original 1995 pilot that was rejected by the BBC. This makes up much of what would ultimately become the first episode of the series, 'Animals'. Provided by the folks at SOTCAA (youtube.com/user/sotcaadotnet), who are constantly unearthing gems like this. Here's an archived link to their transcript detailing the changes between this and the episode that eventually went out: web.archive.org/web/20031004225617/corpses.comedynetuk.com/hidden/torque.html
Notable outtakes:
5:01 - Extra fox-hunting footage; Brazilian TV show; Attenborough's death machine; cow phones; euthanasia
9:44 - Cow on skis
12:08 - Anusless dog; extra Peregrine Worsthorne interview (possibly on the DVD as an outtake)
14:43 - Breast dog; more of Karla the Elephant (including Nigel Benn & Martin Amis)
18:30 - Edmonds isn't helping!
19:40 - "Signs of Hope"
22:21 - More of Dr. Jonathan Kwattes
26:12 - Karla the Elephant: Jeffrey Archer, Reggie Kray & Mona Bauwens
30:04 - Slaughterhouse muzak
31:45 - Reverend Edward Holland interview
