Pakistanis are getting hooked to Channel T, a spoof channel on the Taliban, to divert their attention from acts of terror that have affected almost every section of society.

Conceived and produced by Younis Butt, whose sense of humour is par excellence, the show begins with two Taliban hosts, who speak Urdu with a Pushtu accent, making the all-important announcement: "The opinion of women will not be included on this channel."
