7 clips that prove Chris Morris's also a musical genius

Looking back at Morris's body of work, 20 years after the first episode of Brass Eye was broadcast on January 29, 1997, it's clear that few people have combined music and comedy quite as successfully. Whether he's creating strung-out ambient music for a short film about a talking dog or parodying Eminem to highlight the media hysteria surrounding paedophilia, Morris's use of music strikes the balance between creating black comedy and something that's actually listenable. Below are seven of his finest music moments - just be careful not to find yourself jazzing to the bleep tone of a life support machine.

Radio Times review

Whatever horrors the world has endured over the past 12 months - war, pestilence, terrorism and Piers Morgan's new presenting gig on Good Morning Britain (only kidding, Piers), then we can always be sure of some traditional comforts. One is that Charlie Brooker and friends will extract some comic mileage in his now-traditional end-of-year round-up.

Joined by contributors Doug Stanhope, Morgana Robinson (complete with her extraordinary Russell Brand impersonation) and Diane Morgan as the fabulously vacuous pundit Philomena Cunk, laughter appears guaranteed. Page Three and Cecil the Lion may all have died this year, but smart, sassy satire is alive and well on BBC Two.

Piers Morgan meets James Corden

He's the cheeky actor who shot to fame with Gavin & Stacey, became a 'drunk joke' and nearly blew it... until a stunning stage role rescued his career. So why is he risking it all again to take the hot seat on an iconic U.S. chat show? Who better to ask him than Event's own LA expat..?

He's a fan of Arsenal, Homeland and anything with Sandra Bullock in - but he won't watch EastEnders.

John Oliver bucks the Piers Morgan effect on HBO

How does a Brit get away with lecturing Americans about their socio-political shortcomings? Well, for a start, unlike Piers Morgan, Oliver doesn't actually lecture.
