Perfectly (and not over) produced. All camera filters are spot on as the Day Today was and ranks, alongside I'm Alan Partridge as the cleverest and evolved comedy of its era. One series. Not milked.Pure class.
Also, as an ex heroin addict, I can tell you that the crack bit with the inexperience guy is bang on. The way he puts the pipe down when he gets up and touches the boss and that mumbling. EXACTLY how it is. Now thats research for you! Come back Chris. We need you now more than ever!
The closest America has come to the ruthlessness and hilarity of this kind of satire is Wonder Showzen, which was also shut down mercilessly before it could be reached by the masses.
what is chris morris' connection with Sheffield? he does jarvis and the accent so well. mentions specific areas in On the Hour and came up with the idea and filmed Four Lions here...
Matthew's quiet discomfort (especially the slow and deliberate placing of the lighter on the table) is one of the most realistic portrayals of drug-induced anxiety i've seen .
That's exactly where it used to be, but it was removed from the DVD that this was ripped from. It read 'Grade Is A Cunt', in reference to Michael Grade, the Channel 4 executive who consistently moaned at Morris and tried to tamper with the show. As this episode was the one messed with the most, it had a frame put in, calling him something nasty!
I saw the 'Shaftsberry Jam' sketch after a heavy 24hr binge on mushrooms & E. I walked into the room and it had just started on TV and for the WHOLE time i thought i was watching a serious documentary. I was absolutely shocked & not sure whether I was still tripping untill the end of the sketch.
As it turns out, Shaftesbury Jam's drug-enhanced company management strategy had secretly been introduced to the USA by Henry T. Nicholas, founder and former CEO of Broadcom.
The American public however, lacking the natural laid-backness of the British, weren't quite as appreciative of his practice of spiking the drinks of business associates with ecstasy tablets and various "creative" accounting techniques.
You're right; the message was removed from the DVD version, presumably because 4 didn't like saying Grade was a cunt more than once. That would be gratuitous.
AND I REALLY AM SO VERY SORRY xD
