"The Chasers" APEC Prank

The APEC Prank aired on ABC last nite to record ratings.

The only ABC program to have drawn a bigger audience was the finale of the popular drama Sea Change.

The Chaser crew earned worldwide media coverage last week when they infiltrated security at APEC with a fake motorcade and one of their number dressed as Osama bin Laden.

Last night's program showed footage of the spoof motorcade being waved through two security checkpoints, which the comedians said were more like a "guard of honour", on its way towards the hotel where US President George W. Bush was staying.

Eleven Chaser members were later charged with entering a restricted area without justification.

They will appear in court next month and face a maximum penalty of six months' jail, but plan to fight the charges.
