The Day Today is a surreal British parody of television current affairs programmes, broadcast in 1994, created by Armando Iannucci and Chris Morris. It is an adaptation of the radio programme On the Hour, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 between 1991 and 1992. On the Hour was written by Morris, Iannucci, Steven Wells, Andrew Glover, Stewart Lee, Richard Herring, David Quantick, and the cast. For The Day Today, Peter Baynham joined the writing team, and Lee and Herring were replaced by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews. The principal cast of On the Hour was retained for The Day Today.
The Day Today is composed of six half-hour episodes and a selection of shorter, five-minute slots recorded as promotion trailers for the longer segments. The six half-hour episodes were originally broadcast from 19 January to 23 February 1994 on BBC2. The Day Today has won many awards, including Morris winning the 1994 British Comedy Award for Best Newcomer. All six episodes are available on BBC DVD, having previously been issued on VHS.

The Mark
by: OverkillSteal it, take it, know my name in loving memory
Sand it, brand it, in your brain, a forthright eulogy
I am but a sinner here, my faults are underlined
I have but to hold you near to cleanse the sins of time
I have known you, all too well
I have shown you, all too well
I have thrilled you, all too well
I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to
Speak up, calling my name out
Speak up, the shattering of doubt
This is where you start
With nails run through your heart
Leave the name, burned in the brain
Leave your mark
Find it, blind it with your light or curse to be alive
Will it, kill it in your night, commit yourself to thrive
You are but a sinner hear, each breath is now your crime
You have but to shed a tear, to wash away the time
I have known you, all too well
I have shown you, all too well
I have thrilled you, all too well
I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to
Speak up, calling my name out
Speak up, the shattering of doubt
This is where you start
With nails run through your heart
Leave the name, burned in the brain
Leave your mark
Give me your principles, values and hope
Or I'll take them away
Not so convincible if you can't cope
Or rise to the day
Worn out the morals that lit up the path
Now gone to the dark
Frayed are the laurels, igniting the wrath
They left in the mark
Wrap me in darkness, wrap me in light
Wrap me in indestructible light
Way down the road it's better, believe me
Way down the road it's gone (god)
Carry the load, it's harder, believe me
Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod)
Way down the road it's better, believe me
Way down the road it's gone (god)
Carry the load, it's harder, believe me
