It’s way too late for me to start talking about 30 rock now so I’m going to go off at a tangent. Recently I’ve been re-listening to On The Hour, The BBC Radio 4 show from 1992 that every single funny person of the last 10 years worked on.

I thought everybody already knew about this, but as no-one I know responds to me screaming ‘She’s my Wife’  in moments of frustration I’m posting an mp3 up here in the hope that they’ll come across it and think I’m (slightly) less weird.

The TV adaptation of On The Hour, The Day Today featured the same team, and some of the same jokes, but where the radio show predated 24 hour news by 10 years (by taking the piss out of it), The Day Today actually won awards for its graphics.

It’s ironic that, although that everything they were doing was meant to be exagerating a trend to the point of it seeming ridiculous, it’s actually difficult to tell the difference between TDT then and Fox News. Today.
