Help, trying to find a sketch from a tv show!

A while ago, maybe about a year ago someone started a thread on here about the way some people (British, I think) pronounce the names of foreign food/dishes. I remember someone posted this YouTube link:

m.youtube.com/watch?v=fKGoVefhtMQ

But another poster followed it up with a clip of a mock news report where the presenter took the piss out of people who over-pronounce the names of foreign cities. I was certain it was Chris Morris or Armando Iannucci but I can't find a thing on Google or YouTube, does anyone remember this? 🙏

Mock news reports makes me think of The Mash Report, could it be from that?

It was Limmy. I'll try to find the sketch

Argh I can't find a link that works! It's the one with 'Kabul' and 'Noo Yoik' isn't it?

Interested in this thread?

Was it Mel from Mel & Sue? I’ve seen her make a similar point I think on Room 101

Oh but that wasn’t a mock news report. Sorry

Fry and Laurie have done it in the past.
