Mocking a subcategory of consumer goods you wouldn’t even think anyone held an opinion of, this segment was prompted by a discussion of gift-giving generally, and in particular anything made of falsely aged metal. Coming in for particular ire were assorted bath products with a recurring motif of crescent moons. But then something strange happened –...
Veteran DJ (and Morris’s former boss) Johnnie Walker has had a distinguished career in radio – starting on pirate radio in the ‘60s, recruited by the BBC, spending the latter half of the ‘70s in America and then returning triumphant to the Beeb. He would eventually receive an MBE for services to broadcasting, so obviously, his death would be handle...
Success always brings problems of its own. In this case, a fan of the show had sent in one of their possessions hoping Morris could autograph it and return it to them – the possession being a live tortoise. Peter Baynham was initially startled but then became quite curious about the internal workings of tortoises. This leads Morris to demonstrate h...
One of Morris’s favourite tricks is to get on a celebrity or other public figure – someone the vast majority of the population will respect and trust – and make them do stupid things. This was one of the best and most controversial aspects of Brass Eye, where we saw celebrities – real people, remember, with working brains – duped into denouncing ca...
In one episode, sometime late in the summer of ‘94, the heat really started getting to Morris. Naturally, he denied this was the case, instead explaining his ire by launching into furious tirades against some of the minor annoyances in his daily life. The term ‘microaggressions’ has basically been poisoned by the way the SJ left has used it, which ...
As we’ve made clear, a fair bit of the show still had a Brass Eye-ish newsy stamp to it, but with a looser feel more appropriate for a music show, an almost improvisational tone (although even before the BBC forbade them to go out live, a lot of it was still ruthlessly edited). This segment, which certainly dates it, had Morris and Baynham relating...
A recurring bit rather than one specific thing, Morris would on occasion read out what were supposedly letters from listeners who, knowing he didn’t usually do requests, were relating their moving stories of love and loss in the hope they would move him enough to do it. These all followed roughly the same formula – an awkward, lonely man meets a be...
In the depths of the festive season, a discussion about Christmas shopping and which butchers you could actually smell the turkey in quickly turned towards – in the truest spirit of the season – the real meaning of Christmas. Morris cites Christmas’s roots in pagan tradition, which Baynham dismisses as ‘A.N. Wilson garbage’ that is, at best, techni...
A recurring feature of the show was the ‘kiddy’s outing’ – in which, every week, an infant would out a public figure. This time it awoke some deep-seated emotions in Morris about the soothing effect of a child’s voice, which prompted some surprisingly sincere discussion about the nature of parenthood. Then Morris mentioned that they’d arranged to h...
Probably the show’s most well-known moment, this is the one that got it suspended for two weeks and made the BBC stop putting it out live. Strictly speaking, Morris never actually announced Heseltine’s death, but if you were flipping between channels or not really listening, you could have easily come away with the impression he had. The show featu...
