I seem to recall them saying something along the lines of "Loaded? Fuck you, Morris".

Yes. And then the other Corpse said he *might* be earning money to support the little Morrises. No real satisfactory take on the issue. What did you think TJ?

Well, I love Morris, but I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of his new Blue Jam style path, I mean, it's great that he's not resting on his news satire laurels and moved onto something else leaving it to his inferiors to pick up the pieces. But I really hope he changes to something else now, and after that Loaded article I have lost heart even more, he seems to have lost all grasp of what made him great originally. That article was terrible, and the fact it was in Loaded just multiples that by a million. I really hope those rumours of him liking TV Go Home weren't true, I can't believe he'd like reading utterly inferior material trying to ape his style. Maybe he's just playing a big game with everyone, with his reuptation, nothing he can make will probably live up to it, so maybe if he lays low for a while and doesn't try, and then maybe come out of nowhere with something new and exciting that will slap everyone in the face. He could just of lost it though.

I thought it was a wasted opportunity of the first order. A large part of the excitement of Morris' work has always been (without exception) that it was guaranteed to upset exactly the sort of people that you wanted to see upset. Here, however, it was only goingto be seen by a) Morris fans and b) the sort of people who go to the clubs being parodied anyway, and both factions would 'get' the joke. My quibble is not with the quality of the material (the club guides were always my second favourite part of Blue Jam after the monologues), but with the presentation, in the sense that Morris was not going to rock any boats in any way whatsoever with it. This left me feeling a little... well, empty really. Roll on "jam" series two...

Yes, this 'trying to upset people' business. I can understand him trying to upset media people in TDT and BE - but anyone else? I also remember reading in an interview that he doesn't set out to offend people, he merely does what he (and his cohorts) find funny. Do you think people have given him this 'media terrorist' label and in so doing missed the fact that he's just trying to make people giggle?

Fair comment, but I always thought that people's reactions were part of what he found funny...
