I think the synopsis is promising; suggestive, perhaps, that the more research Morris did for Four Lions, the more interested he became in the dark dodginess of the security services.
There are a few hints of that shadowy world in Four Lions - especially at the end, with the government official in the shipping container, politely reminding the Muslim suspect that they're technically on Egyptian soil. It's a compelling direction in which to swivel his satire beams. I look forward to his eventual James Bond script.
Be good if, in the meantime, Morris pops up in This Time with Alan Partridge. We were treated to a bit of unexpected Morris screentime in Comedy Vehicle (2014) and The Double (2013), and he's a fantastically charismatic presence - the best thing about The IT Crowd - so I hope we get to see some more of his onscreen pretending soon.
