* SpoofAesop: Series 64, Episode 4 has a song by Jonny and the Baptists which they introduce by saying they're concerned about Britain's low happiness rating, and so had written an inspiring song called "It's Never Too Late". The song itself has the ''sound'' of a cheesy inspirational song, but the message was that happiness was probably impossible to find, so why even try? The line in the chorus that gave it the title actually goes "It's never too late to give up".
