Chris has a mood swing and cancels the BBC news

Another clip from the 1994 radio show

[@wurble]

I really wish Rockstar would have got Chris to create a radio station for GTA 5

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Despott YES!!!!

[@PokeDude1995]

It would never happen because it would actually be funny

[@dildonius]

His humor is unrelentingly British and his forte is lampooning British society and media. GTA is in great part a staunch lampoon of American society and media. I dont know if it would have worked.

[@purplepioneer5644]

dildonius what about all the nnn news sections from the day today? They’re bang on

[@findlay1arches]

Omg what an idea

[@danwilson4582]

The way he says 'Live from the scene' is hysterical.

Holy shit, is there anything even close to this on the radio now? Unbelievable quick wit.

[@infinitesimotel]

I doubt it, not of this order. There might be something out there but CM is a rare one.

[@CrappyCast]

CrappyCast tries!

[@Joe-og6br]

Nope

[@gorgolyt]

This is some Einstein-tier quick wittedness. It's like he's living in a slow-mo universe and has half an hour to think of every sentence.

[@alecpritchard]

It's so true. It's not all just rehearsed material, there are many instances where he's trolling the public/celebrities and it is real-time baby. He bounces off everything SO fast and so sharply and hilariously! Proper genius.

[@TheAxePhysicsDude]

That’s because he did cake and time slowed down

[@BodywiseMustard]

He's quippy, but it's far from and respectable quick wit.

[@moodini99]

He was on Comedy Vehicle only a few months ago

[@comanchio1976]

I heard that he was going to be making a new movie sometime soon. I hope that he's actually in this one. It's was great seeing him on Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, but I'd like to see him in a vehicle of his own.

[@custardo1]

The world needs Chris Morris

[@muerterobot]

The track at the start is Ice-T's New Jack Hustler, from his 1991 album O.G. Original Gangster. Its a dope album. The funky instrumental at 2min is an album track from Beastie Boys' Ill Communication album.

[@fatmike01]

Always improvised with Morris. To say the guy is quick on his feet is an understatement.

[@sasquash12]

"Have you got some newspapers there? Yes, what's the lead story please?" Oh Christ Morris. "I suppose the top story will be reflected across the board." "Now Germany Retaliates, is it? I respect your lack of speculation on that part. Oh, you've got a nun in there? What is she made of?" Oh sweet Jesus I am actually aching. Fuck. I wanna drink with this guy.

[@peterpandemonium3032]

I loved Dudley Moore, but he was outclassed by Peter Cook. Cooke and Morris was a meeting of minds though. And both of those minds were sick and twisted. It was quite something.

@MrZuccy With Peter Cook as Sir Arthur Streeb Greebling if I'm not mistaken. Classic radio with Morris mentioning that Cook was on death's door and Cook actually dying a few months later. I particularly liked the bit about his dad putting him in prison as a young child and him being stuffed down an adult's trousers because he had no clothes of his own. Had me laughing out loud quite heartily.
