Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

BBC ONE, 11.45PM ★★★★

The 2013 sequel came and went with little fanfare but the original

Anchorman film was a phenomenon that saw Will Ferrell at his comic best. He stars as a shallow San Diego news anchor whose life is turned upside down when the ambitious Veronica (Christina Applegate) joins his all-male team. Co-star Steve Carell is superb as good-hearted chief meteorologist Brick.
