"Why don't I use real people instead of dead ones? I dunno, y'see I.. It's power - I want power!"

The last bit is actually (from memory) "I want a tower! I want... I want a tower." Because just previous to this this character was talking about controlling a whole town of anamatronic dead people from a tower.

Ned, did you ever hear any of the Blue Jam radio show Morris did?

Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 14 August 2005 19:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Heard quite a bit about it, but not heard it.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 14 August 2005 19:38 (eighteen years ago) link

blue jam was amazing, worked a lot better on radio than on tv. they tried to replace the dislocation you feel that is sort of inherent to radio, with sort of woozey camerawork and blur on the tv, but it didnt really work. they used to have a big realaudio archive of it at tvcream but it all seems to have gone. migth be ok slsk though.

http://chilled.cream.org/forums/bluejam.php has most of the radio shows and a wealth of other goodies besides. You'll need some torrent software but when you download it, it's a whole new world of fun.

Believe I've been there before, I scarfed all the On the Hour episodes from there. And very happy I was to have done that.

warp to release four-disc on the hour box in two weeks

they've been on radio7 several times in the past couple of years but they always miss a couple of episodes out of each run (and i don't think they've ever repeated the christmas special) so this will be useful.

seventeen-disc blue jam box probably a pipe dream

Finally discovered this - the brilliance/episode is truly staggering. Immediately ordered Brass Eye as well.

There shouldn't be a thread for Dennis Perrin tweets. (stevie), Sunday, 21 July 2013 12:44 (ten years ago) link

It was a DVD easter egg. I guess they recorded it specifically for the DVD release. 26 April 2004 is the release date according to amazon.

thanks!

"Peter, you've added nothing."

I seem to remember something Chris Morris wrote that was published in the UK quite soon after 9/11 - in The Independent or The Observer, possibly a pull-out section that was quite shocking in a kind of "too soon man" way. I'd love to see that again.

kraudive, Monday, 22 July 2013 00:00 (ten years ago) link

amazingly all of it is here, as PDFs, in the Observer archive

Something poetic about Chris Morris slowly morphing into Victor Lewis Smith
