The Day Today - The Bureau 2

[Applemask]

"It's Hennetty's fault."

[jimjams91]

When she puts the pill in her mouth then instantly faints in that really camp manner has me in stitches!

[stevebritgimp]

I'm trying to run a high-class bureau de change!

[christschinwon]

I only wish Steve Coogan played this character in his own series. He would have been able to feed his massive ego. It should have happened

[MetaCraken]

"don't bother. she's dead."

[mblow1984]

I'm closing the bureau! (for an hour)

Genius timing

[Havencheese]

"Pills! Someone call an ambulance."

Classic soap delivery, stating the obvious.

[dangrimmy]

This is the best coogan character.

[BigDan777]

Oh my god!! Did he creally close the bureau for a whole hour?? jesus!

[TURBODORK2]

was the bureau based on eldorado? that show which got axed

[BurntOutFurny]

I think so, though I guess its just a mix of loads of crappy soap operas and TV dramas

[DetroitSoulboy]

A mixture of everything but certainly taking a lot from characters and plotlines of the Den and Angie Watts era of Eastenders.

[louisp001]

aha thumbs up to all

[bfdhvcnvvbjdn]

I think coogan payed homage to this scene in the following 'I'm alan partridge' series 2quote

'....we should go for a pub lunch for an hour'

[markrskinner]

Genius.

[houlden33]

brilliant, even after all these years...for an hour lol

[JiBendo]

His timing on that delivery simply could not have been any better. :D

[raborian]

......for an hour!!

[khalithistle]

its a testament to coogan's ridiculous talent that he can make a very simple line/joke like "...for an hour" so incredibly funny

[TulseLuper]

This is my favorite Bureau clip.

"I'M CLOSING THE BUREAU for an hour..."

[domdino]

I WISH this was a real show! Probably my fav coogan character ever.
