The Day Today

[Lizard]

I was meandering around the local über-Tesco's last night (does anyone else think these things bear a striking resemblance to an airport terminal?) and, despite best intentions, found myself in the DVD's and Games aisle *again* (always a dangerous prospect for yet another ill advised impulse buy...just because I understand the concept behind 'point-of-sale' doesn't mean im any less susceptible to it...apparently) and after remaining strong for a while I happened to see a box-set of 'The Day Today' and my resolve crumbled...and it got bought...bugger

 

But despite the fact that I shouldn't really have bought it 'cos i'm skint as I was watching it I remembered just how funny this series was...and remembered that when I first moved "daaarn saarf!" absolutely no-one had even heard of this programme when I mentioned it...and im wondering...does anyone on here remember it?

über-Tesco's...as in one of the really really big ones

 

You get the dots above the u by pressing option (or alt if you're not old school) then pressing u...but that's on a mac...so it may not work on a PC.

Yep...it was where Alan Partridge first made an appearance.

 

The people who made it were Chris Morris, Steve Coogan, Armando Ianucci, Peter Baynham, David Schneider and Doon Mackichan...who all went on to be involved in some of the best British comedies over the last 10 years

How odd! that was the episode I watched last night

I think my favourite sketch on the whole series though was the "Bomb Dogs" one

The Day Today was good.

 

Much prefered Brasseye though.

True...any comedy that can have a law passed through the House of Commons about a drug it made up demands respect really...picturing Bruno Brookes dark warnings of the dangers of 'Cake Abuse' still brings a smile to my face

"Cake, its a made up drug"

 

[Ian Cashman]

..sometimes knows as 'Russell Dust'
