Brass Eye wouldn't be the same if... Posted Fri Jul 6 00:48:33 BST 2001 by 'Max Fischer'

...it hadn't been cancelled. What do you mean you want to see it when it's first scheduled? That wouldn't be right. Right?

Why, the hurried postponement of a new Chris Morris series is as much a British tradition as Trooping The Colour...

I bet, when Morris and 'the missus' go down to the local, the landlord stands in the doorway and says: "'old it there mate, you're barred!" before saying "only joking Chris, come in" and everyone has a big laugh about it.

Or, when he's about to play in one of those 5-a-side games for the crippled kiddies that he always does, he gets a phone call from the organisers saying "Awfully sorry, Christopher, but the games been postponed 'till next week", and then everyone pops round his house and has a good laugh at this lastest jape.

Or,... no perhaps i should leave now.

Strikes me he'd be more likely to play in a 5-a-side game *against* the crippled kiddies.

Don't rule out the employment of aforementioned crippled kiddies as the football itself

He then toddled over to the piano and slammed his little hands down randomly on the keys, in what I later chillingly realised was the thoroughly practised manner of Richard Clayderman.
