What did you do on Last April Fool’s Day?

BBC--飛翔的企鵝

2008年，BBC攝制組在南極附近拍攝了自然歷史系列《進化的奇跡》（Miracles of Evolution）。里面講述了阿德利企鵝飛翔的故事。這個飛翔企鵝的視頻成了互聯網上觀看最多的視頻之一。解說員特瑞瓊斯（Terry Jones）解釋說，這些企鵝

不是擠在一起忍受冬季的嚴寒，而是飛去幾千英里以外的南美洲熱帶雨林，享受熱帶溫暖的陽光。如此有愛的愚人節玩笑是相當具有迷惑性的。作為具有專業精神的媒體，BBC隨后揭秘了他們是如何制作翔企鵝特效的--其實就是動畫

啦。

最著名的玩笑：BBC--意大利面條樹大豐收

還是在遙遠的1957年，英國的BBC電視臺在4月1日播出了這樣一條消息 ：多虧剛過去的溫和冬天，以及有效的控制了面條樹蟲害，瑞士南部一戶農家的意大利面條喜獲大豐收。畫面中，一名女子仔細的將意大利面條從樹上摘下來，把它們放到太陽下曬干。

因為在當時，意大利菜在英國還不常見。許多英國人并不知道意大利面條是用小麥粉做成的。上百通電話打到BBC，有人指出消息錯誤，有人疑惑不解，甚至有人詢問：怎么自己種意大利面條樹呢？

這可以算是電視媒體最早加入4月1日愚人節整人活動行列的例子。多年后的CNN文章，還評價它是史上最大的一個玩笑。
