The Day Today

What a precient show that was, The Day Today, well over a dozen years ago now.  Chris Morris spotted the rampant change in the tide of news, both in  presentation and editorial content.  Check nearly every news show now – well, it’s hard to spot any difference from this over-the-top spoof, is there?

Staggeringly, I’ve only just realised only 6 episodes were made…  It seemed like more, such was the variety within.  Fortunately, Chris Morris’s over-the-top characterisations are still to be seen, most recently as the boss in The IT Crowd.  You may catch a bit here: http://www.ifc.com/videos/the-it-crowd-episode-1-clip-1.php
