Line 206:
[[Ricky Gervais]] and [[Stephen Merchant]]'s second series of ''[[Extras (TV series)|Extras]]'' featured a reference to a fictional episode of ''The South Bank Show'' focused on madcap children's television presenters [[Dick and Dom]].
''[[Private Eye]]'' tends to parody Melvyn Bragg's name, and ''[[Spitting Image]]'' would rather accentuate his nasal accent. As ''Spitting Image'' was often aired immediately before ''The South Bank Show'', episodes would often end with a send-up of Bragg, most notably in one episode having him advise viewers to switch off their televisions to avoid watching it.
[[Benny Hill]] once parodied Bragg in a 1978 episode of ''[[The Benny Hill Show]]'' as Melvyn Dragg. The name of the show was also parodied, and it was called "The South Blank Show."
