Anyone share fond memories of Chris Morris in R4 On the Hour? I still get the urge, when a self-important reporter appears on the television, to intone "I'm full of news, milk me." Trouble is, nobody else has the faintest idea what I'm talking about.

On the Hour was a top show - it followed the Six O'clock news and it was difficult to see the join sometimes..

Wonderful. I've just spent a very happy time working my way through those clips. "If you do give a dog for Christmas, how should you wrap it?"

There was a similar programme which was just snippets from fictious Sunday newspaper articles, but I can't find it. I thought it was called Sunday Supplement, but it would seem not. Any ideas?

Found it! The Sunday Format.

Terrierorists.

For example.
Just as brilliant now. Loved the idea of John Major putting on a brave face - his Spitting Image puppet could convey emotion more effectively. Am still searching for whatever 'outrage' I fondly recall Chris Morris reporting "Just yards from where children, with their soft heads, were playing."

First time watching Four Lions I was really sceptical.. not least because I foolishly believe some of the populist press and its immediate rejection to the subject matter. But the bumbling incompetence of the "Lions" is just great.. the Dancing in the Moonlight scene in the van gets me everytime.. and I've now discovered Chris Morris' old stuff too. Bonus!

Hi everyone.

I must agree with all the above comments. Big fan of Chris Morris me as well. Especially his late night funny, dark, surreal and scary BBC Radio 1 show Blue Jam. The best radio that's ever been IMHO!

Here's some links of interest regarding the above...
