The Day Today (1994)

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST! In this episode of You Have Been Watching, hosts A. J. Black and Robert Turnbull join forces to examine of the more legendary political satires of the 90s, 1994's The Day Today. Arguably 'sitcom adjacent' in style, this mock current affairs news programme helped launch the ships of a thousand careers, from Chris Morris to Steve Coogan to Rebecca Front and more, not to mention providing the first on-screen appearance of Alan Partridge. Has it, however, remained funny across many different ages of news? Host/Editor A. J.
