A sketch in ''The Frost Report'' is responsible for the term "Lord Privy Seal", in the British television industry, to mean the practice of matching too literal imagery with every element of the accompanying spoken script. In the sketch, the practice was taken to an extreme by backing a "news report" about the [[Lord Privy Seal]] (a senior Cabinet official) with images, in quick succession, of a lord, a [[outhouse|privy]], and a [[Earless seal|seal]] balancing a ball on its nose.
