Probably C4 or ITN will use the tape in six months as a [[dead donkey]] ;-) Might end up on lunchtime news, watched avidly by bored housewives and students. Perhaps we'll draw in a few more Susans.

So ... C4 or ITN will use the tape in six months as a situation comedy from the 1990s? I guess I'm missing something (which seems all too often to be the case when British humo(u)r is involved).
"dead donkey" = silly story, often a funny animal tale, used as filler when they have a spare minute at the end after the sport and before the weather.
