The vehicle shed its load on the A417 at Bromsberrow,
north Gloucestershire, spilling the thousands of scripts,
videos and early filmed 'rushes' onto a carriageway of the
M50.
Several
minor accidents followed as motorists tried to avoid
them. The motorway had to be closed in both directions
between junctions 1 and 3.
The accident happened at 10.15 BST on Saturday as the lorry crossed the
bridge over the M50 close to junction 2. The driver was taking his load from
top secret BBC and ITV blast-proof bunkers to Wales, where they were to be disposed of in a
what officials would only describe as " a fucking deep hole near to Merthyr
Tydfil".
PC Simon Edwards, of Gloucestershire Police said: "It was very foggy
earlier and the consequences of this could have been unimaginable. We have
take precautionary measures and patrols are
driving round the area with loudspeakers warning residents indoors and unplug their video recorders."
"This could have been very nasty had any of the cheap
innuendo, poor writing and bad 1970's sitcoms escaped."
Officials would neither confirm nor deny that the load contained amongst
other hazardous material, the remaining archive copies of 'Eldorado',
some of Jim Davidson's 'Big night out' scripts, and the entire stock video
from the awful sitcom aired in the late 90's 'we love the 70's.

In an effort to relieve the stress of the impending Bush
war upon his country, Saddam has been holding a series of
Tupperware parties in Baghdad. "When my testicles are
firmly in the hands
of
those Western Dogs, I find that relaxing with friends and
discussing the latest trends in the field of freezer to
microwave plastic ware products helps me to focus", he said today.
" A thousand deaths to Bush and his poodle Blair , and
have you seen these really neat fridge jugs with my new
patented easy pour spouts "?
When pressed as to the whereabouts of his chemical
weapon factories Saddam would only discuss the latest
expansion plans for his Baghdad kitchenware empire.
In times of attack Saddam, it is believed takes
refuge in a large 5000 litre 'double fresh seal' sandwich
tub.
