Although sometimes cheap looking, 'The Day Today' is a compelling sketch comedy staring the legendary Christopher Morris, whose genius combined with bravery has been key to the broadcasting of more obscure and adult themes in this genre.
Steve Coogan also co presents along with the brilliant Patrick Marber in the funniest moments of the series.
The show playfully mocks politics and uses 'improvised' celebrity endorsements and interviews, some more convincingly than others.
However although the show is well made, it never quite reaches the overwhelming heights of intense laugher, and chooses subject matters which aren't the most complex leading to some overly basic outcomes which aren't random enough.
