A must see, if you appreciate impeccably good satire. - The Day Today review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
11/04/2006

I believe this is the finest and most influential piece of comedy released in britain, perhaps the world. Even to this day, the fotmat of the news and the styles of commentry are ridicuolously close to the parody potrayed in "The Day Today". It's unbelievably funny, clever and dumb. I still hear commentries, or see the way a news show starts and think that's the "The Day Today", and it confirms what a farce the media is. Stunning, I can't get tired of this.
