Prescient is about right. You could almost draw a line where everything pre-Chris Morris was 'the good old days', and everything after him was 'the beginning of the end'. I don't think any other satirist straddles the phases of zeitgeist quite like him. Both The Day Today, and his other major project output, Brass Eye (there were others less notorious) were years ahead of the culture, satirising that which would later become verboten, including pedophilia, media and political corruption, racism etc. Woke hadn't happened yet but he knew it was coming. Nostradamus-like, he and his team knew the direction of travel at least 10, even 20 years in advance. I've often wondered what would happen if his content was to be broadcast 'as standard' in today's age as an experiment - there really would be an outcry today by the very same age group that back in the 90s really loved his edgy content. No-one batted an eyelid, because we were too busy raving and partying and co-existing with the world at large, experiencing and living in harmony across all tribes, while gorging on common sense and logic. I've honestly never understood where all the 'phobics' and 'isms' and 'hate speech' came from, because in my lifetime, up until the late 90s / early 2000s, it looked like we'd solved the melting pot challenges. Then it all went to shit, and went up a gear when Obama became leader of the free world.
