A friend's father was quizzing me about this, but I got nothing...
"Ten years or more ago (likely 20 years or more) I saw a satirical program on TV that I thought was supposed to be "Olympics for the Dead". Just a short skit, very funny and outrageous. There was a swimming race, where dead bodies (obviously, not real dead bodies) were thrown into a swimming pool for the swimming contest. I feel almost certain that another event was a high jump, where the bodies were thrown over a bar. It's the sort of thing you'd expect from Monty Python. I doubt that my title for the skit is correct, since I got no hit that way. I just can't believe that there's no trace of that skit somewhere accessible on the Internet, if only a mention of it."
Does anyone know what this might be?Thanks in advance...

Only thing I can think of is the armando iannucci sketch set in heaven, where heaven is littered with inanimate but sentient corpses, and at the end there's a big musical number where they all float in a pool

It's not this one, but thank you (and I love that show)... it would have been something that aired on American TV, for what that's worth.
