Kirsty's Home Videos is a British comedy clip show, that was broadcast on Sky 1 and hosted by then-Sky Sports News presenter Kirsty Gallacher. It was similar in format and content to ITV's You've Been Framed!, and like it, was also produced by Granada Television.Morris, Sophie (5 May 2008). "My Life in Media: Kirsty Gallacher". London: The Independent. Retrieved 14 December 2009. It was broadcast between April 2000 and September 2005, running for six series during its time.
Features The features that were included were home video clips of mainly people falling over, making a fool of themselves and at the end of the programme was a small video with adult men and women being naked and doing daring things like walking through parks and going to a bar.
Some series had seventeen episodes each and were shown on Sky1 every Thursday or Friday. Each series included a Christmas special and sometimes an uncut episode.
All the episodes lasted for 30 minutes.
The final series ended with a two-hour episode which featured outtakes and mishaps.
Controversy The episode broadcast on Sky One at 1pm on 1 August 2005 included a clip of a skateboarder falling from a skate ramp. The skate ramp included an offensive message and swearing (fuck), leading one viewer to complain to Ofcom. The graffiti, which appeared to the side of the screen, went unnoticed by Sky prior to broadcast. The channel blurred the offensive language for future broadcast of the episode.
