Christopher Morris

Christopher Morris (b. 1965, Bristol, Great Britain), nicknamed the media terrorist, gained fame as a screenwriter, director, and star of television shows whose satire and surreality are in the best tradition of British comedy (e.g. the role of Denholm in the series "The IT Crowd"). The origins of Morris's humor go back to the years when he worked for BBC Radio Bristol and Greater London Radio. The on-air program "On the Hour" spawned a television news parody entitled "The Day Today" (1994), a series which earned him a BAFTA Award. The series "Brass Eye" (1997) presented seven fictional TV news reports, and after the program ended, Morris published his own obituary in The Guardian. In 2002 he shot a short film for the prominent music label Warp entitled My Wrongs #8245–8249 & 117, winning a BAFTA Award for his efforts. Four Lions is his writer-director feature debut.
