In my view this is the best episode of The Day Today they made. Horses on the Tube, the Bureau, the Queen hits John Major, the UK Government official "Everything's OK" public pacification film, Alan Partridge sees boobs, Chapman Baxter and his "Fried To Be", and The Pool with Steve Coogan's iconic security guard, as well as "This is the Newwwwwws!" and the ending long hair gag. The whole thing is a comedy classic.

There’s something deeply funny and very underrated about Chris asking so many questions of Alan, with Chris facing his right and Alan facing his left, only for Chris to then turn around and reveal Alan is to his left. They’ve just been both talking at each other in the wrong direction for the past minute. And then Alan disappears from that position, replaced by the French philosopher.

@@emlyndewar maybe. I guess I just think the expression "underrated" is overused on youtube. It's everywhere.
