Tonight’s sizey stories – On The Hour

Chris Morris is a genius. Reason #1327. Warp Records are releasing Chris Morris’ satirical news show on a deluxe 4 CD package featuring all episodes and previously unheard content on the 24th of November. On the Hour was a radio precursor to the televised brilliance of ‘The Day Today’ and I believe the show was the first appearance of one Alan Partridge.

There’s even a website with a podcast running until Christmas.

Download from Bleep or iTunes.
