The Guardian is offering you the chance to download an episode of On The Hour, the radio precursor to The Day Today starring Chris Morris and Steven Coogan as Alan Partridge. But you can play it in this embedded player if you’d prefer. It’s very funny.

The full edition is finally to be released on CD, as part of a collection of five 30-minute episodes, a Christmas special and the original pilot episode by Warp Records on November 24.

Morris Minors: The Time, The Place

2nd July 2008 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Time to launch another new blog god-related feature. This one will show off some of the lesser known work of satirist Chris Morris, who’s best known for The Day Today, Brass Eye and Jam. 

Naturally enough, I’m calling it Morris Minors.

Anyway, the first entry is a bit of stunt work by the man himself, in which he turned up in the audience of daytime debate show The Time The Place and pretended to be an expert on sex and Roman history. He starts of sensible, he ends up silly, just to see at what point he’ll be rumbled.
