| Up Yer News |
SummaryUp Yer News was a regular satire show broadcast by the short-lived Galaxy channel, on the short-lived British Satellite Broadcasting platform (and on some regional cable services), in 1990. The cast and crew changed constantly throughout but amongst those known to have contributed to the show at various points are Chris Morris, Armando Iannucci, Stewart Lee, Richard Herring, Patrick Marber, Steve Coogan, Rebecca Front, Doon Mackichan, David Schneider, Jon Thomson, Al Murray, Julian Clary, Stephen Fry, David Baddiel, Rob Newman, Steve Punt, Hugh Dennis, Henry Normal and Fred Harris. Morris himself is unlikely to have been a frequent contributor, possibly only appearing a handful of the many shows produced. His contribution was a series of 'Feedback Reports', a vox-pop feature which was a major part of the No Known Cure and GLR radio shows. Some of the video Feedback Reports are possibly what were later shown as 'Speak Your Brains' in The Day Today, although he apparently occasionally appeared in shot. One of these covered the topic of 'Mad Crow Disease'. Some of the segments were later shown as short inter-programme 'filler' items to cover for under-running in the Galaxy schedule. Transmission InformationGalaxy launched on cable on 25th March 1990, with the BSB launch on 29th April 1990. We know 'Up Yer News' was broadcast from launch on BSB, and it seems likely it was on from its cable launch as well. Indeed, there are episodes from late-February 1990 in circulation, although we're not quite sure if they were pilots or not. The show was broadcast then and was until the 30th November 1990, when the Mirror last printed listings, due to the channel being due to close down a few days later. Up Yer News was a 15-minute programme, broadcast every weekday evening around 9pm, usually repeated in the early hours. The weekends brought an extended programme (known as “The Repeatable Up Yer News”, probably a compilation of the weeks best bits, lasting from 30-minutes in the early shows, through to 45-minutes in its later days.)
Archive
It's believed that the vast majority of the Noel Gay BSB archive was wiped a few years back. However, some copies of 'Up Yer News' do exist on off-air recordings made by viewers, although we've not seen or heard of any featuring Morris. |
