this is brilliant...

peter reporting on the wtc september 11 terrorist attacks....

audio only....

Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan (Patrick Marber) - Economic correspondent. Of all the characters, Peter is by far the most incompetent; while Alan Partridge can usually extricate himself using sheer bluff, Peter has no such skill, and his reports see him digging himself deeper into the mire. He is constantly making mistakes, and always incurs Chris's extreme displeasure. Notable reports from Peter include a claim that an American factory with only 25,000 workers had made 35,000 redundant; a failed effort to conduct a light-hearted interview with a shipping minister; and a report in which Peter claims to have conducted an interview with the German economics minister in the German language, despite it being obvious that Peter cannot speak a word of German. Peter's attempts to back out of his errors always incurs Morris' wrath. Peter appears to have a habit of doodling on his notes (specifically, a cobweb), a constant irk to Chris Morris. Peter resembles former BBC newsreader Richard Whitmore; his name is clearly inspired by Brian Hanrahan.

also to those with the dvd of the day today check this...

The DVD features extensive bonus material including short mini-episodes featuring original material which were broadcast the night before the original broadcast of each episode, the original pilot episode, and an Open University programme about news presentation which includes an analysis of how and why parodies such as The Day Today work.
The DVD also includes several "Easter eggs" including: a version of a State of the Union Address by George W. Bush, edited to make United States policy seem insanely belligerent; a new audio discussion between Morris and Alan Partridge discussing Partridge's bizarre theories of how Diana, Princess of Wales, and John F. Kennedy died; a further discussion between Morris and Partridge about the environment; a re-union of Morris, Partridge, Brant, Peter O'Hanrahahanrahan, Collaterlie Sisters and Valerie Sinatra; and another audio sketch featuring Peter O'Hanrahahanrahan pretending to file a report from the World Trade Center covering up the fact that he had overslept, while blithely unaware that the September 11, 2001 attacks have just taken place. Pressing the Angle button during Episode 3 unveils brief, intermittent visual descriptions of the episode by Andy Hodgson and Jennifer Reinfrank, whilst a half-hour interview with Steve Coogan, conducted by Mark Radcliffe on the January 17, 1994 edition of his radio show, can be accessed through the Extended Scenes menu.
