    In my view this is the best episode of The Day Today they made. Horses on the Tube, the Bureau, the Queen hits John Major, the UK Government official "Everything's OK" public pacification film, Alan Partridge sees boobs, Chapman Baxter and his "Fried To Be", and The Pool with Steve Coogan's iconic security guard, as well as "This is the Newwwwwws!" and the ending long hair gag. The whole thing is a comedy classic.

    There’s something deeply funny and very underrated about Chris asking so many questions of Alan, with Chris facing his right and Alan facing his left, only for Chris to then turn around and reveal Alan is to his left. They’ve just been both talking at each other in the wrong direction for the past minute. And then Alan disappears from that position, replaced by the French philosopher.

      @@emlyndewar maybe. I guess I just think the expression "underrated" is overused on youtube. It's everywhere. The Day Today was a BBC comedy that was critically acclaimed, essentially catapulted Steve coogan and the Alan Partridge character to global fame. A load of the others: Chris Morris, Rebecca Front, David Schneider have all been ever present in tv and movies since. I am not really knocking anything artistically. I am just unclear on the metric for "underrated".

    I love The Bureau because it's a bunch of good actors acting like bad actors. Also, I find it amazing that Valerie SInatra and Barbara Wintergreen are the same actor, just because of the difference in accents.
    The part where all the ministers are entering Number 10 and the reporter is naming them off, "Kenneth Clark, Michael Howard, Christopher Biggins, Michael Heseltine" - the third guy is not, of course, Christopher Biggins, who was a camp overweight d-grade celebrity - but he does look like Christopher Biggins.

      stinky visitor I rememember in Brass Eye where we had a radio DJ, Tommy Vance (for some inexplicable reason) giving us a list of absurd prison slang. Among which was 'Portillo', which meant 'watch out behind you'. I think part of it was that Morris, like most in the media, was aware that many people in the public eye had another side to their personality, and this was his way of bringing it out without making himself subject to libel.

    this is the golden age of television. christopher morris is a god. it all went downhill from here. apart from peep show. and brass eye but that's basically series 2 of this. oh and alan partridge. maybe it didn't all go downhill maybe there's just 5 people in television who can make stuff that's actually good

      It was broadcast on BBC2, at the nine-o-clock slot reserved for independent comedy - Monty Python, Not The Nine O’Clock News, Red Dwarf and many other cult shows were shown as well as The Day Today. The Alan Partridge character went on to become better known in his own shows, and with Jam and Brass Eye on a different channel, Chris Morris would soon become the enfant terrible of British tabloid press.
      Another BBC2 9pm show was The Office, which is reputed to be based on a sketch in The Day Today. They definitely pioneered the ‘mockumentary’ format which the Office adopted.
      I know a few people around my age who are fans of the show - they tend to be the cooler, more literate of my friends 😊

    These days it's all cheap shots at celebs. I don't want to be all grumpy about modern TV but there seems to be less abstract humour mixed in, everything has to be right on the nose. Tried and tested rather than inventive.
