On The Hour: Second Report Posted Mon Jun 12 17:56:42 BST 2000 by The Corpses

The Waterstones 'books in print' search engine lists a single CD/cassette entitled 'On The Hour: Second Report', apparently released on 3 June 1996 but deleted since. This quite clearly never materialised, so we just wondered if anyone could shed any light?

There was also a mysterious BBC title mooted for release earlier this year entitled 'Newshound From Hell', the author for which was listed as Chris Morris. This was also withdrawn. Any ideas?

We would phone the BBC Radio Collection, but they're asleep.

Can't shed any light on the OTT tape, but there is a foreign news correspondent at the BBC called Chris Morris - he's the one you get if you send a mail to [email protected] - he's a fan of The Man Morris, but nothing like him. I'd be prepared to wager he's the one doing the news book. (There's also a BBC Bristol producer called [email protected] and he reportedly doesn't take too kindly to "fan" mail intended for the Brass Eye merchant).

Cheerio

Steve

I once got a very touching reply from BBC reporter Chris Morris. We can reprint it to ward off other journo-botherers?

Checked with my press release collecting friends about OTH:Second Report. It was in the 2000 release scheduled and unremarked upon, other than a cursory line of "Another installment".

Will get original copy and post asap.

Sky News have a Chris Morris or two, as well.

A reader from socal. , 27 May, 1999
scintallatingly relentlessly bizarrely wonderful
Morris writes from south of southern Hades where the land is buckled with sin and the only way out is straight down through the rough
belly of the beast.

A reader from Sherman Oaks, California , 6 March, 1999
Tarantino meets Castaneda
Within the first few pages, Morris lets you know the ride's gonna be rough...but you're still surprised at the bumps and grinds in the rutted
road to Locoland. Then you wonder if you'll ever be the same when, and if, you make it back across the border. Morris has a sense of
Mexico...and gets you there in a haze of drugs, sex, and murder. Some of the scenes might stay with you awhile...so don't read too fast
as you reach the climax. You might wake up thinking it was all a bad dream...or a helluva bad trip.

A reader from Los Angeles, CA , 27 February, 1999
Fast paced psychedelic drama south of the border
A quick read that has an accelerating pace through Mexico when times were more hazy under a cloud of mystery. The characters are rich
and ripe for confrontation, with some zany twists and turns that kept me rivited to the pages unlike anything since the Exorcist. Chris has
a unique writing style and wit with colorful depictions on surf & sin city and the tropics of Mexico's Pacific jungle coast line so vivid that
damness drips from every page. Viva la Locoland !
