  • Drop the Dead Donkey var en brittisk komediserie, en situationskomedi som sändes på Channel 4 i Storbritannien från 1990 till 1998. Serien utspelar sig på nyhetsbolaget "GlobeLink News", ett fiktivt företag som producerar nyhetsprogram för tv. Avsnitten spelades in nära inpå sändningen, och serien kunde på så sätt använda sig av aktuella nyhetshändelser att skämta om, vilket också gav den en viss realism. Serien skapades av komikerna och manusförfattarna och . Enligt den svenske komikern Kryddan Peterson är den baserad på en idé som Helt apropå-gänget presenterade för engelska kollegor runt 1989-90. Efter att ha tjatat på tv-ledningen fick man själva senare köpa in det engelska materialet, och skapade då serien Döda danskar räknas inte. Arbetsnamnet på Drop the Dead Donkey hade ursprungligen varit Dead Belgians Don't Count. (sv)

  • Finally, the title ‘Drop the Dead Donkey’ has been the subject of many column inches. Various journalists have with great authority explained its provenance as a well-known industry expression. The truth, sadly, is that the writers made it up. It's just something stupid that they imagined might be shouted out in the tense few minutes before a news broadcast. (en)
