Don't bother with disc 2
By a customer from Portsmouth , 27 Jul 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
5 stars for the first disc, but don't bother with the second 'extras' disc. Contains about 2 minutes of footage not on the first disc- Was this review helpful to you?

(82)Bitingly hilarious in its day
By WiseOldBob (37 reviews) from York , 21 Oct 2011I remember seeing it the first time round when it was icily pertinant ot the time, but, like Fawlty Towers before it when I started watching it yesterday I found that too many wasted years had gone by and I was left in cold lamentation by the slick production and savage irony. I put it back in the post today having watched about the first 20 minutes.
Perhaps it's just me who has become terminally sad, though.- Was this review helpful to you?

Quality Satire
By a customer , 12 Oct 2011Mr Morris let loose with some proper TV making kit. Absolutely superb. Quickly lost count of the amount of times I laughed during each episode. And I can count past all my fingers and toes.- Was this review helpful to you?

Its Iannucci - You'll either get it or you won't
By a customer , 23 Sep 2011I watched this on TV first time around and I'd forgotten how excellent it was. Laugh out loud funny at times. Fav bits for me are the interplays between the abusive newsreader (Chris Morris) ripping into Peter O'Hanra-Hanrahan to get the truth out of him. I cant watch BBC News24 without seeing the parallels now. Highly enjoyable but obviously some people just dont 'get it'. Dark sense of humour required. Part of the genius IS the constant use of nonsenical graphics and reports, but it may just pass you by. If you like this get 'Brass Eye' too, British humour at its best.- Was this review helpful to you?

Today is not The Day
By Emjay69 (328 reviews) from Kidlington, Oxford , 10 Sep 2011What a load of c**p! It's not really funny but it is well produced. Given the opportunity I would probably ban this to save others time.- Was this review helpful to you?

the day yesterday
By itstinks (681 reviews) from North of Reading , 07 Jul 2011Missed it when it came out and didn't really warm to it now. A couple of laughs but in the interim things like The Onion have shown how funny spoof news can be without having to resort to shouting presenters.
And of course it is to blame for Alan Partridge and the insufferable Steve Coogan.
Brass Eye was better.- Was this review helpful to you?
