First broadcast in 1991, On The Hour is the spoof radio news show that won the "1992
Writer's Guild of Great Britain Award for Comedy/Light Entertainment". It also
later lead to the infamous TV show "The Day Today".
Broadcast on Radio 4 and Radio 1, On The Hour was the first major outing for Alan
Partridge as a sports reporter. In this early work, his style is still recognisable
and it is still very funny. You can also hear Steve Coogan do a number of the voices
in the news reports throughout the shows.
On The Hour was produced with the usual load of people, Armando Iannucci, Rebecca
Front, Doon MacKichan, Patrick Marber, David Schneider. On The Hour is still available
to buy as a double tape.
