Genius, especially 'Jam' and 'Blue Jam'.
An unseen sketch from the 'Sex' episode of 'Brass Eye' has just surfaced on Youtube: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nZAnj1pEcuw |

Hilarious. I'd not seen that one before. "Part your belief curtains..." indeed. PS: For those that don't know, David Sullivan is the uber-slimey owner of a number of top shelf mags as well as the Newspaper The Daily Sport (think of the final chase sequences in Benny Hill shows, in newspaper form). He's a kind of rubbish british equiv to Hugh Hefner, without the silk robes and pipe, or a modicum of class. |

That's true, Patrick Marber being another one who is seriously underrated and I never tire of promoting. I really, really like Peter Serafinowitz and Robert Popper too, even though I don't think they have anything to do with Chris Morris.

What is the Patrick Marber connection? I don't know him. What else has he done?

He worked as a stand-up comedian for a number of years and then co-wrote and appeared in the comedy programmes 'On The Hour' (Radio 4), 'The Day Today' (BBC2), 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' (Radio 4 and BBC2), and 'Paul and Pauline Calf's Video Diaries' (BBC2). His first play, Dealer's Choice, was first performed at the Royal National Theatre in February 1995, transferring to the West End later that year. Among numerous productions across the world the play has been produced in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Melbourne, Berlin, Vienna and Zurich.

The play became an international hit and has been produced in more than a hundred cities in over thirty different languages across the world. His latest play, Howard Katz, opened at the Royal National Theatre in June 2001. After Miss Julie, his free version of Strindberg's Miss Julie, was broadcast on BBC Television as part of the 'Performance' series in November 1995.

Thanks Sarramkrop. I really don't go to the theatre nearly often enough -which is odd, because I invariably really enjoy it when I do. Certainly prefer it to going to the cinema these days. Seems like I'm missing out on a whole load of good stuff.

I prefer his irreverent, more 'fun' material like The Day Today and Brass Eye to the likes of Jam. There is an Adam And Joe parody of Jam, which gets it about right (doesn't seem to be on You Tube though).
Apparently he's doing another series of Nathan Barley (which should be good) and something about suicide bombers (which could be awful), inbetween having arguments with Martin Amis (a few of his articles on The Guardian are worth looking at). |

Yeah thanks for that Stu.
As well as this, there's also news that Morris is currently working on a feature length film which supposedly centres on 'wannabe suicide bombers'. It was originally gonna be a series, but C4 refused it. More info. Oh, and check this out http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iB1zwtkTVfQ |
