Overview

The Noose is a parody of local news programmes such as News 5 Tonight, with fictional news reports and a presentation mimicking that of the real news. For example, every episode of News 5 Tonight begins with a CGI clock indicating the time, while every episode of the first two seasons of The Noose would spoof it by displaying the time using something more mundane, such as a plastic clock hanging on a wall. At the beginning of every episode, there is a candid disclaimer telling the viewer that the stories are not true. Each episode stars Michelle Chong, Chua En Lai, Alaric Tay and Suhaimi Yusof, with various actors and actresses as newscasters and interviewees, often with parodic mannerisms and names.

Overview

Since 2007, Singapore’s elite news program The Noose stands ready to pound the ground to bring you the stories, reactions and analysis that no other news team on the island is capable of. What’s more, in this upcoming season, we will be giving viewers the chances to be part of the Noose family in Are You Noose Enough? It will be a season of change and new beginnings, featuring our newly acquired weapon of mass media destruction, Xinhua Hua (Alaric Tay) who will partner with B.B.See (Chua Enlai) on set for a fresh new take on issues that you should think about. On the ground, the team will be bolstered by correspondents See YanYan (Judee Tan) and Henderson Pooper (Suhaimi Yusof), a well-seasoned beefcake thrown into the most treacherous war zones of the world.
