The Bat-Morning Report

Monty Python, the iconic British comedy group, has a unique nickname for Radio New Zealand (RNZ) National's morning flagship news and current affairs program, Morning Report. They affectionately refer to it as Bat-Morning Report, drawing inspiration from Nelson Riddle's instrumental soundtracks for the 1960s Batman TV series.

Morning Report is a staple in New Zealand's media landscape, providing listeners with up-to-date news, interviews, and analysis on a wide range of topics. The program airs every weekday morning, helping Kiwis start their day informed and engaged with the world around them.

The nickname Bat-Morning Report is a playful nod to the program's serious and authoritative tone, juxtaposed with the whimsical and adventurous spirit of the 1960s Batman TV series. Nelson Riddle's music, with its catchy melodies and dynamic rhythms, adds a touch of excitement and drama to Morning Report, making it a must-listen for many New Zealanders.

Monty Python's association with Morning Report goes beyond just the nickname. The comedy group has a long history of poking fun at traditional media and news outlets, using satire and absurdity to highlight the absurdities of the world around them. By calling the program Bat-Morning Report, Monty Python adds a touch of irreverence and humor to the serious business of news reporting.

But despite the playful nickname, Morning Report remains a vital source of information for New Zealanders. The program covers a wide range of topics, from politics and economics to culture and entertainment, providing listeners with a comprehensive overview of the day's events. With in-depth interviews, expert analysis, and on-the-ground reporting, Morning Report keeps Kiwis informed and engaged with the world around them.

In a world where news can often be overwhelming and confusing, Morning Report stands out as a beacon of clarity and reliability. The program's team of experienced journalists and presenters work tirelessly to bring listeners the most accurate and up-to-date information, helping them make sense of the complex issues facing New Zealand and the world.

And while Monty Python may playfully refer to Morning Report as Bat-Morning Report, the program's impact and importance cannot be understated. With its commitment to quality journalism and public service, Morning Report plays a crucial role in keeping New Zealanders informed and engaged with the world around them.

So the next time you tune in to Morning Report, remember the playful nickname bestowed upon it by Monty Python. Bat-Morning Report may be a lighthearted moniker, but the program's dedication to quality journalism and public service is no joke. Stay informed, stay engaged, and enjoy the unique blend of seriousness and whimsy that makes Morning Report a must-listen for Kiwis everywhere.

@nitro-rat was teaching me how to make edits earlier because I plan on making a lot of Goodies edits. He made this as a tester edit to show me how it’s done and I’m still floored by evil Graeme !

Things in The Goodies that give me life:

- Bill’s outfits.

- Bill fawning over any animals they come across.

- The way Bill is visibly cracking up in practically every episode. 

- Bill.

- The MUSIC.

- The CUDDLING.

- The Goodies actually being friends, despite their differences, and actually seeming to like living together.  - The big bisexual energy.

- Them Goodies actually wanting to help people in the early seasons.

- They way Graeme and Bill often comfort Tim when he’s upset, or scared.  - Graeme swinging between genuine kindness to cartoonish evil at any given time.  - In the same vein, Graeme swinging between being the dad friend and the cloud cuckoo lander at any given time.

- Tim and Bill, who are usually bickering like children having to become cloud cuckoo lander minders, when Graeme goes into villain mode. 

- Graeme. - Tim in his dresses.  - Tim’s motivational speeches.  - Tim’s scream.  - Tim’s tacky Union Jack waistcoat.

- TIM.

I'm a Goodies fangirl as well. So I had to make this.🥰

Update: It dawned on me that today would be Tim Brooke-Taylor's 83rd birthday, at the time of both creating and posting this edit.

Happy birthday to my crush and favorite Goodie.🥰💓
