Profile - Chris Morris

A profile of the satirist Chris Morris. Best known for his cult TV shows The Day Today and Brass Eye, Morris has tackled subjects considered taboo by many people, including paedophilia, incest and suicide. His latest offering, a film poking fun at jihadis, promises to be no different. But who is this intensely private individual, and where does his decidedly angry brand of humour come from?

Contributors include his brother Tom Morris, his writing partner David Quantick, former boss Trevor Dann, Michael Grade and former Guantanamo prisoner Moazzam Begg, who advised Morris on his latest film, Four Lions.
