Chris MorrisChris Morris seems to have gone quiet over the past few years, since his controversial Brass Eye special.  His last outing brought outrage and hatred from The Daily Mail-reading establishment, for what was in truth one of the bravest and most scathing satires against media hysteria in recent years.

The star and creator of comedy series' such as Brass Eye and The Day Today is now reported to be working in collaboration with Charlie Brooker, who runs website "TV Go Home", which itself is a satire targeting broadcasting and media.  The pair have recently completed work on a non-broadcasting pilot, with the final series expected to follow on Channel 4. 

Although the new series is shrouded in secrecy, most would expect, given the previous offerrings from these writers, that there will be a fair amount of controversial satire in the new series.  We wholeheartedly expect the Daily Mail (a Newspaper with a unique position in in british journalism - being aimed at readers who have too much class to read a tabloid but too few brain cells to engage in a real broadsheet), will probably already have stopped the presses, poised to begin damning whatever Morris is preparing to offer us.
