    Made the same point after last weeks episode. It's literally unbroadcastable.

    It's not real

    As Monk says Harry, its a behind the scenes look at the making of a daytime show. Not everything we see will make the cut to the real broadcast. End product will be quite sanitised, but its a good insight into what goes into making one of those shows that are really polished as we see them.

    Brilliant!

    Only Steve Coogan can do an irish accent, easy to know he spent many a summer holiday in the whest of ireland

    *love the attention to detail - the weathered face, gammy eye & teeth and ol'fella dress sense :pac:

    It's almost as if they used some costumes, makeup and false teeth and a world class mimicker of accents to play the part.

    "Mighty" :D

    Coogan always seemed very knowledgeable about Irish stuff in his comedy.

    it's parodying the One Show which is live. It has its moments but the conceit isn't as well realised as say the Day Today or even Broken News a show which nearly everyone has forgotten.

    Martin's jumper and mismatched shirt and tie under the suit jacket! The level of attention to detail. It's probably only Irish people who will get the genius of that sketch.

    It was obviously Coogan, not hard to have the same actor playing 2 characters in a scene with SFX, look at Adam Sandler films.

    They made a slight adjustment to his eyes aswell as the teeth and it was exactly what you'd see on some auld lad in a pub in Galway, it was uncanny :D

    Was good alright. He broke out his brown stripy tie, that was actually fashionable back about 1974.

    It was three minutes of pure genius. Probably took months to write and perfect. I'm waiting for some gobshïte to complain about racism and stereotyping.
