StoryFix is the BBC's experimental weekly video round up of what has been happening over the last week.
Its editor says the mix uniquely difficult to describe. We'll have a go then...

Nothing yet, so why not post a comment?
We say:
StoryFix could be described as a comedy roundup of the news, in the same way that Michael Jackson could be described as slightly odd.
Each episode is only five minutes long, but showcases the most absurd bits of information it can lay hands on, in a gleefully irreverent and disconcerting manner. And it's absolutely hilarious.
The host for the one recent episode, Kate Silverton, is dryly amused by her material, which flashes past you at the promised high velocity.
There's a count of how many times David Hasselhoff refers to himself as 'The Hoff' in an interview, a clip of C. Montgomery Burns lauding Jeremy Paxman as a cruel and pitiless supremo, Jimmy Saville attempting to chat up Silverton herself, and a selection of newsreaders being taken utterly out of context.
It's cruel, it's sarcastic and it is absolutely brilliant. Excellent work from the BBC.
