Chris Morris: Raw Meat Radio - BBC Radio 4 Extra, 29th November

[Artemis]

Is that the only Morris ident-jingle they have?

[Spiteface]

Shit, totally forgot about this being on.

Will it be available "on demand"? Feel like listening to this all properly tomorrow or something.

[Subtle Mocking]

I checked before on iPlayer and it said it'd be up, but if not then I'm sure that Neil or somebody else is recording it all.

[Beep Cleep Chimney]

"Crescent moooon!"

[Artemis]

What book would you be reading?
Ooh, Wild Swans, probably.
Wanker.

[Thomas]

I love Peter's 'thanks yes' as Richard Curtis.

[Ron Maels Moustache]

"The blue pisswater of Littlejohn."

This bit is so good, they fire so many funny bits at you so quickly it's hard to keep up.

'the pre-snipping ritual'

This is really great, they've chosen some fab clips for this. Thanks for pointing them in the right direction, Neil.

This tooth brushing sketch always made me wince.

[Thomas]

This tooth brushing sketch always made me wince.

'Sitting in the fish tank' is the one that gets me. I can really picture the splitting glass and bursting fish.

And the one where patients are nailed to beds, of course.

[Ron Maels Moustache]

This tooth brushing sketch always made me wince.

It's the "injecting people with piss" one that always makes me a bit queasy.

[Thomas]

The monologues are the most affecting bits of all Morris' work, for me. All the stuff I've attempted writing has been done with them in mind.

[Artemis]

...and so did the duck.

[Ron Maels Moustache]

"The conductor looked at me as if his mother had just walked out of my nose."

What a line that is. What a line.

[Subtle Mocking]

"The conductor looked at me as if his mother had just walked out of my nose."

What a line that is. What a line.

I just heard that and thought "Yep, I'm stealing that".

[Beep Cleep Chimney]

This really is a very good programme.  Massive thanks to all involved.

Always hungry for any additional little titbits of information about the making of Blue Jam, as it's my favourite Morris radio thing, so the little interview just now with Adrian Sutton was a nice surprise. 

[Thomas]

At the Chris Morris symposium last year, the one serving as the launch for that book of essays, we began by sitting in the dark and listening to the first monologue - the one with the gun at the zoo. That was a good experience. A lot of laughter.

[Beagle 2]

I just heard that and thought "Yep, I'm stealing that".

Definitely do, I've been using that for years, and it always goes down very well. At worst somebody recognises it and you get rumbled, but they still think you're really cool!

Listening to this now, it seems like a hell of an ambitious thing to choose for a first short film.

[Artemis]

Unflustered Parents!

Wow, kudos to Four Extra for pushing the boat out.

[wokeonawhalescock]

"incidentally did he come home from school today?"

[Beep Cleep Chimney]

I fucking love David Cann's yawning delivery of "he probably just decided to stay overnight at the schoooooool".

[wokeonawhalescock]

"yeh fucking lot easier" hahaha, always forget that bit.

[Thomas]

That second or two of crows cawing is very sinister, particularly coming just after the mention of 'the woods'.

[Artemis]

So what do you do now? Chuck him away?

[Subtle Mocking]

"That's a bit much!"

[Beagle 2]

Even now, even after all these years, the words 'buggered' and 'strangled' make me gasp a bit and recoil. Then the laughs that follow straight afterwards. Really thrilling and challenging stuff.

[wokeonawhalescock]

"always thought he was a bit of a twit"

Remember being genuinely shocked by 'unflustred parents' when I first heard it. Couldn't quite believe it was being broadcast live on Radio One, albeit at one o'clock in the morning.

[up_the_hampipe]

I got excited that they managed to snag a new interview with him. Dammit. Is it right to say he's "shy" of interviews or does he just not want to? Interviews must be tedious after all.

[wokeonawhalescock]

Would any radio station even have Chris Morris these days?
