Starring Kayvan Novak
10pm Friday Channel 4
Britain Today Tonight is a piercing take on US cable news shows where the standard of journalism leaves much to be desired. Novak takes on many guises in particular host Digger Daley who shouts at cameramen even when on air. The show is made of reports by reporters (all played by Novak) who interact with unsuspecting members of the public one example being one that features a MI5 agent (again Novak) making enquires about text massages at a youth club that ends up with John (yes the comedian from Liverpool) Bishop being flagged up as a possible terrorist. Daley also holds interviews on certain subjects, one such on the gender pay gap has the female interviewee having to deal with a male porn (again Novak) star complain that his female co-stars get paid more than him! Britain Today Tonight goes to the top of British TV comedy this year.
