Topic: Chris Morris Profile - Radio 4 - Saturday 30th January 2010, 7PM

There'll be a profile on Chris Morris going out this...Saturday, I'm sure it was.  7pm, they've apparently already done Armando Iannucci in this series, anyone hear that?  I'll add in the programme link and podcast details shortly. 

EDIT: Oh yeah, it's about £300 a minute for footage of Brass Eye!

It's only a 15 minute thing, oh well.

Cheers for the heads-up!

On a slight tangent, I heard at the weekend that an American company, wanting to do a DVD release of The Innes Book of Records, recently got in touch with the Beeb, it was told that the fee would be £600 per minute (so £270,000 for the whole thing), plus a search for of £15k.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

If Iannucci's profile is still on iplayer, I can't find it.

As far as the Chris Morris heads-up,

Wow, I first heard about this about three or four years ago - I assumed Morris himself put the kibosh on it.

She said they don't generally go near the people involved, so it's probably unlikely.  I wanted to know if he'd been approached seeing as he's doing press at the moment.  They already have the greencine podcast, and the LHC thing, and now they have the Bournemouth University bootleg.  Speaking of which, if Tommy Trumpet is reading, please get in touch so I can pass your details on to them!

Looks like that one was back in last October.

*Edit* It was but it's still available here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ncfmq

Not working for me, so here it is on zshare

Anyone see Iannucci (and Bremner) on This Week?

Here's the MP3 stream from the iPlayer, grabbed using get_iplayer:

BBC Radio 4 - Profile - 20100130 - Chris Morris

[weirdbeard]

That forthcoming biography sounds interesting, might be a nice Christmas present to get.  Interesting to hear the anecdote about Morris phoning up Trevor Dann to say he wasn't going to be on the show, a clip from the last GLR show to circulate from this site.   Also interesting to hear clips from the recent Greencine interview, suggesting this Profile show was very late in development, somehow I have it in my mind that this kind of stuff is finished off a few weeks in advance.

[Artemis]

Interesting enough - nothing amazing in there, but I like the sound of the biography too. I'm not sure I believe Grade when he says he's never seen Chris do anything other than his 'one trick' - still some bitterness there?

[kidsick5000]

still some bitterness there?

Understandable if there was.

[sirhenry]

Interesting stuff. An hour-long version would have been better, but there's always the upcoming biography by the always-wonderful Lucian Randall.

[Lfbarfe]

Really looking forward to Lucian's book. Nice chap, knows what he's doing, etc.

[Paaaaul]

Wasn't Randall's biography first mentioned on here at least 5 years ago, or am I going nuts?

I can't seem to find mention with a Google Site Search though.
