Brasseye is an absolute must, only one episode was controversial and it was a special shown in 2001 (3 or 4 years after the original series aired) although it was the press who deliberately made it so controversial because they hated the fact Morris was holding a mirror up to their over-the-top coverage of crimes involving child SA . Brasseye was a satire of a current affairs program and each episode concentrated on a theme affecting society (drugs, Science etc). The Day Today was brilliant, Brasseye was even better, Chris Morris is a genius.

The Day Today is a who's who of British comedy. Everyone on screen and behind the screen is a comedy veteran today.

24:40 The whole music spoof is top drawer. The presenters on European MTV really were that awful. As for the Nirvana skit, it is funny on so many levels. (1) as if Nirvana would have sold out and done any advert, nevermind (see what I did there?) a sanitary towel ad. (2) it is a delightful homage to Smells like Teen Spirit musically. (3) the lyrics about sanitary towels are side splittingly funny " Once a month, you'll become a slave to a tidal wave? ", " it absorbs everything " Holy smokes... (4) the video editing of the band is spot on. If you couldnt hear the words, you may well be fooled into thinking it was an actual Nirvana video. (5) the girls in white pants is a straight spoof of the sanitary product adverts that had started being shown in the early 1990's. Previously in the UK, there were no adverts on TV at all for such products Not sure a TV channel would risk making something like this nowadays for fear of offending people.

There were other Betting price jokes where they put the "favourite" and had another horse at an even shorter price and another joke was saying "31 Bar" . The betting term 'Bar' represents a price for entrants in a race or event whose odds have not been quoted individually due to their price being further out and yet one of the horse prices that was mentioned earlier WAS a bigger price than 3/1...LOL

I think the "Nirvana" sketch regarding Panty Smile was a parody of Nirvana's song Smells Like Teen Spirit. Teen Spirit was/is a female deodorant and apparently Cobain's friend wrote on a wall "Kurt smells like Teen Spirit" because his girlfriend at the time wore the deodorant. Cobain didn't know it was a deodorant and thought the writing was something more prolific and so he wrote the song Smells Like Teen Spirit. Allegedly.

The Adam and Joe Show springs to mind though, slightly less popular perhaps, maybe harder to come by but not impossible.
