The apology comes at the end, Andrew/Jed, after the barrage of slander is still percolating in yr brane.

I like the way the intro music is just that little bit too long.

I'm surprised at how easily 'll quote scriptur and verse, when an equivalent run on Monty Python/Father Ted/The Simpsons would have me curling my toes from about five posts in. I think it's because this is a thread explicitly about quotes, and also for some reason it hasn't become a cultural reference point on the scale of the other three.

Also I'm assuming this thread will be politely deleted after we're done.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

what about jam!??!!?

and i think collaterlie sisters is so hot!

Soemthing that I suspect may have been mentioned before: It's not a very "Alan Partridge" Alan Partridge, is it? He's not pathetic as much as just a fool. Was the "Knowing Me Knowing You" AP also like this?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

exactly. i think jam is more twisted and subversive then the day today or brass eye.

but i love being able to watch steve coogan AND chris morris at the same time.

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost to enrique

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:31 (twenty-one years ago)

It may be more twisted and subversive but it isn't anywhere near as funny

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:32 (twenty-one years ago)

jam is whack next to blue jam; if it's more experimental, it's less funny/cutting. obv it's grate, but not *as* great.

All three AP series have showcased different Alans, and the radio shows were also different -- nothing wrong with that.

Yes, it's in a different business, it's looking to be Art rather than have people creased over in front of the telly.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:34 (twenty-one years ago)

chris morris is working on something new isn't he?

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

There was something about a collaboration between him and Charlie Brooker, which would cause my trousers to explode and no mistake.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:36 (twenty-one years ago)

It's based on the Nathan Barley character and the little things I hear about it don't make me very excited. I think the blue jam monologues are his absolute pinnacle but I can see that they might be a bit of a dead end.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i saw a drama about date rape on BBC2 last week that was so absurd i was sure Morris had a hand in it.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Brooker co-wrote Paedogeddon too. To be honest, I'd rather see him as a co-writer with Morris after seeing the absolute shittery that was the TVGoHome TV prog.

Search - The Chris Morris Show on Radio One.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:50 (twenty-one years ago)

MORRIS: If you could read out this complaint which you have just written?

MAN: I shall indeed.

MORRIS: Grasp the candle.

MAN: Sorry?

MORRIS: And bang on.

MAN: And bang on. [Starts reading] I would like to complain about the entirely slack monitoring of the shape of broadcasters' mouths. As a recruitment officer, I know it is a simple matter when appointing staff to filter out those with unusual or disgusting mouths at the interview stage. Yet our screens are plagued with the likes Gavin Estlar, whose mouth is not only so ill-governed it looks like it is trying to escape from his face, but is grotesquely lopsided. A balanced view from that? In a chimp's cock. Surely the time has come for the BBC to face up to this demoralising assault and sack anyone... [turns the page] ...whose mouth does not conform to a reasonable standard. Perhaps mine. Point at mouth. Regular, neat and I've had the stretch marks dealt with. Do it or I'll ram you up your own... fudge tunnels? Thank you.

Morris working with Brooker is a bit like Morrissey working with Gene, isn't it?

chris morris as fred durst is one of the greatest things ever

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:54 (twenty-one years ago)

The Chris Morris show on R1 needs a CD release. I still don't know whether to belive all the outside broadcasts -- making a guy take a taxi from Cambridge railway station and... I forget, but it was total and utter genius.

Don't teach your grandmother to *blank* eggs.

Morris's sidekick for the R1 Music Shows - Baynham. Vini Reilly in other words. Is it too much to wish that they'd work together again?

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I think we should post to other threads in a Chris Morris style. Like a badger's nonce.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 13:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Brooker co-wrote Paedogeddon too.

That'll be why it wasn't as good as the earlier ones then. Bring Back Baynham!
