"Paedogeddon" is a 2001 special of the British satirical current affairs series Brass Eye. It was written, produced, and presented by Chris Morris, and directed by Tristram Shapeero. It first aired on Channel 4 and S4C in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2001. The special is a parody news programme on paedophilia, and covers farcical stories about paedophiles and sexual crimes towards children, highlighting the media's hysteria surrounding the issue and how its methods of gaining testimony from victims often end up demeaning them. It also features unsuspecting celebrities and politicians duped into advocating spoof child safety campaigns.
