MiniNews Bulletins (x6) Summary“On The Hour” finally made the leap from radio to television with this acclaimed, groundbreaking six-part series mocking the overinflated self-importance of television current affairs programming, parodying the same sort of visual characteristics and stereotypes that “On The Hour” had lampooned in the sonic news universe. Chris Morris again appeared as the show’s anchorman, and also acted as writer, composer (with Jonathan Whitehead) and co-producer (with Armando Iannucci). The radio cast and crew were all involved with the series, with the exception of Stewart Lee and Richard Herring who were absent as a result of a clash of managerial interests. Their positions on the writing team were filled by Peter Baynham, who has continued to work closely with Morris to this day. Impressively, “The Day Today” reused virtually no existing “On The Hour” material whatsoever, and much of what appeared in it was entirely new and devised specifically to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by the visual medium. One of the most successful comedy shows of the 1990s, “The Day Today” went on to win several awards, and Chris Morris won the 1994 British Comedy Award for Best Newcomer. ProgrammesArticlesDVDLinks |
