Channel Seven airs NZ fishing parody about sex and drugs

Australia’s Channel Seven has aired a vulgar fishing parody show, mistaking it for a documentary.

Screaming Reels, hosted by Leigh Hart and Jason Hoyte, is a mockumentary filmed in New Zealand and contains sex and drug references.

Channel Seven aired the program at 10.30am on Sunday under the category, ‘sports’ and ‘documentary’, Pedestrian reported.

Viewers were reeling after the parody aired, with one person writing on Twitter: ‘The s****est fishing show I have ever watched’.

Another said: ‘So… I think Channel 7 bought a NZ parody fishing show without realising it’s a comedy.

‘For starters, they talk about snorting cocaine and using a drone to film yourself having sex, yet it’s on at 10.30am on a Sunday.’

The mockumentary, pegged as ‘New Zealand’s most high-octane, extreme fishing show,’ began screening in New Zealand last May.

The first episode contains constant sexual innuendo and fake fishing references. The pair fail to catch a fish and end up frying sausages on a barbeque.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel Seven for comment.
