The Day Today- Peter O'Hanra-Hanrahan

[gary587]

minister of ships

[ucla4eva]

Rab Butler disliked this 4 times.

[looseheadtom]

almost a kind of prototype for brick tamlin

[MrBuch169169]

Peter didn't like it, but he had to go along with it.

[cmfrtblynmb02]

There are only 3 videos of this guy. We want more, please :(

[mindydrummer]

it's just been annou-yeah thanks

[nickboorer]

Peter O'Hanra-Hanrahan takes the Sarah Montague approach to interviewing

[sjamoon]

@nickboorer or, the Nick Robinson approach.

[GenuineSham]

Stupid slab of a face.

[signedasanonymous]

what a boring and deluded argument. get over it bellends

[blackdice23]

YEAH THANKS

[annedrodgyness]

I watch this clip when I need cheering up.

[fkos86]

Its just been annouc....yeah thanks....

[kazimann]

Minister Of Ships!

[Triplesod]

@kazimann Ha! See, I love this! Almost 20 years later (TWENTY YEARS!!!) I am still finding gags (well, having gags pointed out to me by sharper types, like yourself) in this work of genius.

I first heard On The Hour on the way back from ra family holiday in Wales, must have been 13. Me and me mam and dad loved it immediately and I remember seeing the advert for the Day Today before it started, watched every episode religiously, yet I still have gags to find in it!! Beautiful! And thankyou, Kaz!

[SeahawksFanUK]

SHUT UP, PETER!

[stupidjunk878]

Poor guy :(

[thrrobb]

ditto. mine was: ich nichten lichten!

[slacknhash]

I just read on the BBC site that Brian Hanrahan died. My first thought on reading that was "Peter, you've lost the news!!!"

This probably makes me a bad person and I shall have to learn to live with that.

[munckymagic]

@slacknhash That's exactly why I'm on here. My first thought was trente percente personally.

[caturn88]

Fucking Paxman

[madprof77]

Rab Butler was a British politician who coined the phrase "A week is a long time in politics". Was Google broken?

[DarkKnightBob1o1]

@madprof77 one of chris morris's little winks no doubt

[raadytits]

@madprof77 You missed the joke there bro, Harold Wilson is responsible for that quote, of course Peter doesn't have a clue, hence "Rab Butler".

[donwanakno]

@madprof77 The phrase was actually coined by former PM Harold Wilson, the joke is that Brian was such a retard that he even got that wrong. Perhaps you should have checked google yourself!

[j0lg00f3l]

Peter reminds me of Boris Johnson tbh.

[ucla4eva]

Who the fuck is "Rab Butler"? LMFAO!!!

[doogsby]

@ucla4eva Rhett Butler in Gone With The Wind

[92RedRevolver]

@ucla4eva ... =|

[fishistheice]

Paxman, anyone?

[kazimann]

Minister for ships!

Their's an idea for the government! 

[CYNiCAL2009]

MC SMALLEY!

[karmavictim98]

I love the way Chris Morris mutters under his breath; "That's right Peter, everything I've just said just comes spewing straight back out of your stupid slab of a face" just as he starts with the report. Brilliant

[ShizuokaDolphin]

Yeah, thanks.

[kruger97]

PETER YOU'VE LOST THE NEEEEEEWS!!

[0586730O2]

SHUT UP PETER! at 1.08 lol

[scarlethawkmoon]

I <3 Peter :)

[sugarich1]

Peter's face at 0:52

[wippett1987]

i feel sorry for peter

[KaitainCPS]

I love the idea that there's a Minister for Ships.

[Wedgebot]

Seriously! Why would you post one of the funniest lines at the info section?? Ruined it, well done..

[KaitainCPS]

Oh, flim-flam...we've all seen the sketch twenty times anyway. It helped to find it in the YouTube search.

[lukeyboy2209]

Peter.....YOU'VE LOST THE NEWS

[cm2436]

The resemblance between Peters demeanour and some of Michael Palin's characters in the flying circus are uncanny! 5 stars.

[derangedband]

if the news was like this id actually watch it XD

the best thing ive seen on the news was jeremy thompson on z-day in shaun of the dead.

i wish the actual new was like the day to day! haha-its amazing

[megamarsvin]

It's almost exactly like this, minus the anchor pointing out the vapidity of the reporter ;D

[lolspud]

As the minister for ships sprawls on a pin, its back to you Chris!

[davie443]

"that's right Peter everything I just said comes spewing back out of your stupid slab of a face"

Brilliant

[killerlady1955]

Great!

[brckshaw]

Peter is so good @ playing the 'jobber' news correspondent.... so many who just ask stupid questions & follow a cookie cutter report script. Morris was a genius to exploit this.

<3

[Xxfancythat79xX]

"next time you cross the road, don't bother looking" lmao!

[newmanAPN]

rab butler.............

SHUT UP PETER!!

[OldSmellyCrotch]

Sadly, Peter O'Hanra-Hanrahan is a rather accurate characature of investigative journalism today.

[CFC4CL]

@OldSmellyCrotch

Who is this all-knowing informant of the current state of Journalism who can't spell 'caricature'?

[OldSmellyCrotch]

@CFC4CL (Sirens. Tyres Screech.) Holt! Spelling Police!

[CFC4CL]

@OldSmellyCrotch That would be 'halt', too ;) My point wasn't that you misspelled (everyone does it, man) rather that you gave the impression that you know about the state of Journalism while spelling a not uncommon word incredibly wrong, leading me to believe you're not actually part of the industry.

[OldSmellyCrotch]

@CFC4CL Are you shure!?

[DillingerEscapeMan]

@CFC4CL How ironic - criticising someone who "misspelled" something

[CFC4CL]

@DillingerEscapeMan Not ironic, seeing as I spelled it correctly. That would have been besides the point anyway, I wasn't criticising his spelling, more the fact that he was talking out of his arse.

[OldSmellyCrotch]

@CFC4CL I was not spooking out ov my arse.. ( o ) blah, blah, blah!

[CFC4CL]

@OldSmellyCrotch Ok, you're hilarious. Brilliant.

[OldSmellyCrotch]

@CFC4CL Brillliand and handsum

[raadytits]

Shut up Peter!

[fishbarm]

you've lost the news! hhahaahhaa

[OutStack]

Morris is pure Paxman at several points in this interview, especially 1:14. And his delivery of "Peter, you've lost the news!" has got to be one of the highlights of the series. Excellent stuff.

[flowerofthesouth]

where he gone? over there

[ApathyStillRoars]

'A week is a long time in politics...'

"Rab Butler"

Shut up Peter.

The delivery of that line is epic.

[jacktindale]

Especially if (like me) you are a politics geek and you realise that Harold Wilson made that quote!

:-)

[ApathyStillRoars]

Yep.

I would hope i knew that. Politics is my degree so sadly im a politics geek as well

But im okay with it....

[PlaoBabi]

It's Fake =]

This is fake..so umm.. not that funny but it's ok . the backround is brighter than them ..and they look like they act?!

Why would they even put this?!

[hjjools]

Ofcourse it is, it's called satire and Chris Morris is a comedy legend. Anyone not realising that this is not real and infact is a comedy sketch should be culled to give the rest of us more space.

[Catherine3234]

I can't believe people don't know what The Day Today is, it's really irritating!

[Calum182idlewild]

...oh my

[TitanFind]

What a dimwit.

[Jambot101]

omg you are a smacktard

[Jambot101]

ok this went to the top but i was replying to the smaktard who said 'fake' of course its fake its a comedy show from the 90's dumbass.

[FOOLYCOOLY]

Idiot, this is a COMEDY show that used to play.

[fuckamericanidiot]

fuck me

[redfredom]

lol so random

[spotlitkiss]

shut up peter

[tipster36002]

hahaha that was funny

[ArnusEnabler]

Oh god that was brilliant.

[kevbomb]

You've lost the news!

[DexterAndCromwell]

Chris Morris in full-on Paxman mode is a joy to behold.

[TheSmashedPumpkin]

no offense but it is painfully obvious that this is a joke...

[gazz148]

next time you cross the road, dont bother looking

[CloudStrifeOfficial]

SEARCH 'THE DAY TODAY' ON YOUTUBE AND WATCH T. and does anyone now who the fuck Rab Butler is?????

[xeca09]

Retard

[thisworldsil]

"Peter, next time you cross the road do'nt bother looking..." LOL

[peteanarchy]

PETER, YOU'VE LOST THE NEWS!!!

[willygibbons]

Peter never gets it right

[phlarrdboi]

peter is so cute when he says sorry. and he is so happy when he knows the rab butler quote!

[karpizan]

Except that it was Harold Wilson.....

[phlarrdboi]

harold copied it from rab. they also used the same tailor in jermyn street, but we don't know who went there first. do you, karpizan the wilson fan?

[karpizan]

Ah, another person who can't accept that he's wrong....

[phlarrdboi]

@karpizan your mum didn't think it was wrong.

[DraxNet79]

"What's going to be written on your gravestone Peter?"

"...news..."

[CharlieJosh]

What does Peter O'Hanra-Hanrahan say when Chris Morris says 'Shut up Peter!'

[oscarshapely]

He says 'Rab Butler' after Chris says 'A week is a long time in politics'. This was a famous quote by Harold Wilson NOT Rab Butler so Peter got that wrong too.

[CharlieJosh]

oh thanks, the day today is hilarious

[cantbefree]

'stupid slab of a face', genius!

[speckle126]

Chris Morris is such a legend.

[aaron4820]

yea u know when he worked in bbc radio he realised helium into one of the studio when the news was on air... :D

[DOO1]

[zaga95]

The presenters voice bears a slight resemblance to Jeremy Paxman's...

[SpacemanSimba]

kinda the point, really.

[narcher91]

thats exactly what I thought!

[Jrnen2darkness]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Dungarth]

All Worship Chris Morris!!

[homerbear46]

look 4 the 9-11 one....its just audio, but its fuckin magic!

[ebeneezzer]

I'll never understand why people use the comment function simply to repeat the dialogue contained in the video.

[ComfortablyNumbed]

Hahaha neither will I.

[cheekyegg]

"peter what the hell was that"

funny as fuck

[Zeitgeist969]

"Rab Butler"

"Shut up Peter!"

[RayKailo]

[charleshowarth]
