Chris Morris is a self-proclaimed media terrorist who started his career at Radio Cheltenham. He courted controversy from day one by filling up Michael Heseltine with helium and announcing the death of Noel Edmonds. He then moved to London where he met up with Armindi Ianucci to write Up The Hour, a deliciously dark news satire programme. In 1996, he transferred this radio format to television with his programme Day-to-Day. This cruel send-up of topical subjects, such as Crime, Decay, Morality, and War was a big hit and was followed by what is perhaps his coup-de-grace, Brass Eye Paedophiles, a documentary that remorselessly mocked paedophiles and the children they abuse. Having been forced underground by a tireless media campaign that proclaimed him to be a "sicko" and a "weirdo", he returned in 2006 with a brand-new series, Nathan Burley, that mercilessly poked fun at the Hackney media scene. He now lives in Brixton with his wife Judy and two children, Toby and Jessica, and is looking to write a programme about terrorist cows.
